What if I just put this hd (have some data, not boot drive) from one computer (windows XP) into another computer (vista)? It's seagate, 160GB. All I can find under BIOS is "160GB." No seagate, no "this drive is under the control of BIOS." Am I doing it right?

I thought that this was an used drive and I don't need to partition it. When it shows up under BIOS, even if no "this is under the control of BIOS," it would show up under "computer" because it is already partitioned. That extra step, going into "disk management" is only for brand new drive, isn't it?
