Hey, Question about Vista (havnt got it yet)

Basicly, i have various Program Installers, Music, and other things on a seperate Hard Drive ( Internal ) to prevent loss of data if i ever have to reinstall Windows XP.

So, Im planning on getting Vista Ultimate 64-bit and completly wiping XP so i can use Vista as a primary Operating System.

Heres my question, if i wipe XP, and install Vista over it on my C:\ Drive, how do i go about getting the data back off my 2nd Hard Drive ( called X:\ ) ? Will Vista automaticly detect the hard drive after ive installed it and be able to read the data off it, allowing me to install my applications again, and keep my music?
