Question: move disk from linux machine to windows machine

Hi,

I just got a retired Linux machine which has 2 hard drives. I want to
detach the 2nd drive and install it on a windows machine as the 2nd
drive on the windows machine.

I have the following questions:

1. How do I know the type of the drive I want to move? For my limited
hardware knowledge, I know there are SATA drive and IDE drive and
maybe others. The the windows machine is of type SATA, I knew this
from checking the system info.

I print out /proc/diskstats, it does not tell me the disk type.

2. After I remove the drive on the linux machine, should I do
something or Linux can automatically adjust the change? The linux is
Redhat 3.4.6-2 and kernel version is 2.6.9-42.

Thanks a lot.
