Yes, it should, provided you then make the new drive active, redo the
jumpers, and reset CMOS to swap the drives [assuming you keep the
original as the new slave--which is a good idea--until you have full
confidence that all is ok]  [and assuming your second drive is REALLY
E and F, as often times, a wrong selection in fdisk will make the new
hard drive D and F, with the original drive as C and E]  Watch that..

*should....* be okay
