which drive did you get?
if it's not a 15K-rpm spindle, it might not be worth the effort.
you might have some trouble after moving the operating system to the SCSI drive .. especially if the SCSI takes a drive letter other than C.
Cuz then your OS will be on a drive other than C, but the registry pointers will still be pointing to C.
To get around this, you can:
A. do a clean install to the SCSI. This is the best and most reliable way, but a (time-consuming) pain.
B. Image the drive to CD, DVD or external drive:

Connect the SCSI, and configure it to boot first in the mobo BIOS.
then restore the image to the SCSI from the CD, DVD or external drive. If you use external drive, don't plug it in until the very end, when it's needed.
Reboot and say a prayer.
If it works, shut back down and connect the old drive.
Boot up with a floppy or bootable CD/DVD and reformat the old drive prior to letting it boot to Windows. You will lose all data on the old drive when you reformat it.. But this shouldn't be a problem, cuz all your info should now be on the SCSI.
For info about bootable CD/DVDs:
