I've got a G4 400Mhz Sawtooth with a 40 GB hard drive already installed, and I recently pulled a 60 GB hard drive from an old computer that was the family computer for awhile. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to put it into an enclosure for use with my Xbox 360 or if I'm going to install it directly into my Sawtooth. But if I do decide to put into the Sawtooth, is there anything specific I need to do with it beforehand to make sure everything goes smoothly?

Well, just remember to set them as Master (the one who boots up the Mac) and Slave if they go on the same ATA bus.
