Rather than recycling old hard drives, you should buy a new one. New drives will have much greater capacity and be more reliable. Keep in mind that hard drives have limited lives, since they are constantly spinning and there is wear and tear. You will be kicking yourself that you didn't spend the $100 to buy a new one, when your old drive finally crashes and you lose all your data. NewEgg has a 1-day promo today for 10% off any HDD.

Since you only have 30GB of data that you want from your old drives, you should copy it all to your new hard drive. I upgraded to Win 7 recently and didn't have any problems with the OS recognizing old drives that were formatted with Win XP. Don't forget to change the jumpers for your old hard drives to the slave position.
