If you want the Raptor drive to be your primary hard drive; take out your old drive, make your New Raptor drive your "Master" (change the jumpers on the Raptor Hard Drive). When your computer is booting go into your "BIOS", change the startup order so that your CD ROM is first. When Windows Boots from your Windows XP cd you will be able to format and partition the Raptor hard drive. If you change your old hard drives "Jumper settings" to "Slave", you will be able to access the data on your old hard drive.
Note: On your IDE cable, the Raptor will use the connector at the end of the cable and your old drive would use the connector that’s in a few inches, closer to the middle of the cable depending on how long your IDE cable is.
