i meant to use the old pc with windows and make those drives as shared and use them via local network... so he will avoid buying a new hdd to backup up all of his data and then config a freenas or whatever only for those 2 drives.... lol... and finally if he wants to experiment with those OS he can do it with some used hdds and make them work before do anything critical and lose his files...

If you dont want to lose your data in both drives why dont you make them both shared in you old computer and leave that computer in a place that you wont hear it? and dont try to make your life miserable... xD
