For starters, do you know for sure that there are physically three hard drives inside the computer? It's easy to divide one physical drive so that it acts as many seperate drives.

I would open the computer first and verify the existance of three drives. If there are three, then read the labels on each - most list the size (in MB or GB) of the storage capacity. That will tell you which drive is which. If there are three drives (or two for that matter), then your idea will work fine. Just make sure that you check the jumper settings of ALL of your drives anytime you add or remove a drive from a box. Jumper settings should also be on the label of each drive.
