Adding a HD

I have a WD 200GIG Hardrive in my old machine. Mobo died.
The hardrive was formatted to C: drive (no partitions)
I want to add this drive to my new system

My new system uses a K8 Triton Series Mobo. Gigabyte Ga-k8nsc-939.
And dual Core AMD,Athlon(k7) processor. System is running Windows Home + SP2
With a 400gig Wd HD formatted to C and D drives (200gig each).
I want to add the hardrive from my other machine who's mobo has died. to my
new system as a slave (E: drive) Will windows or bios automatically
recognize this drive or do I need to remove or set the jumper to slave.
I've been told all I need to do is remove any jumper and put it into the new
machine and it will be recognized and all I may need to do is format it. Is
this right?

if you put the 200 on the same cable as the 400, set the jumper on 400 to the center 2 pins and the 200 to the 2 pin just to the right of center toward the molex connector.

if it going on the secondary ide on it's own set it up the same as the 400 if it is on it's own.

at the moment you should not have to format the drive, if there are files to move to the 400.
