changing the bios will do the trick once the drive is connected.


Make sure you enter the bios first without the drive connected/ then access the bios; record on paper the boot order settings

then shutdown the computer / connect the old drive again / reboot the computer & enter the bios / input the boot order exactly as it was before you added the drive / then save and exit the bios

even though you arent really gonna change any settings you will trick the bios into thinking you did change something that reflect the presence of the new ide drive in the mix.

post back with your progress.
