[Hardware Question - Plz, It's Important To Me That I Get Answers]

Thanks for the help, I'm a programmer, but I don't know much about installing new hardware other than a graphics card or a new fan or cd drive.

Thanks,

[Hardware Question - Plz, It's Important To Me That I Get Answers]

Um, yeah. I have an old windows xp that doesn't work anymore, and I want to throw it's floppy drive into my vista's empty 3" bay.

I know for sure that my xp had a virus and it absolutely fried the motherboard and cpu, so I was wondering if the virus could be transmitted through floppy drive when I put it in my vista.

Cause I really don't want my $1500 vista to get messed up.

So basicly, I'm asking if I put the floppy drive in my vista, will it mess it up? (I wouldn't be worrying about this if I had bought the $100 recovery disk when I got my computer. (When i bought my computer it came with vista pre-installed, and I didn't want to pay an extra $100 for a disk, especially when I could buy at least 4 games for that)).
