Computer Upgrade Question

OK, I bought a new computer. However, rather than
redownload/reinstall/reconfigure everything I just moved in my old
harddrive. here's where it grows curiouser and curiouser. Th new
computer has a SATA harddrive I want to keep for data storage, etc. It's
currently the primary hard drive at SATA1, the CDROM at IDE1. I moved
the new drive to SATA2, switched the CDROM to IDE2, and plugged my old
harddive in at IDE1.
Now, before I plug-in and turn-on this system, will my movements work?
Will my old harddrive be the new primary harddrive, or will it cause all
kinds of horrible problems?
Thanks for any insight.

Ships that pass in the night and speak each other in passing;
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, poet (1807-1882)
