transfering old hard drive to new computer
My computer is old and when it would not boot I decided to invest in a new one. The new computer came with a SATA HDD running xp. I want to install my old ATA HDD as a second drive as this contains all my existing files.
As there is only one IDE port I have tried to connect it as a slave drive to my DVD drive (which is set to Master)but now the computer will not boot. As the old drive was running xp os, is it still recognising it a C and trying to boot from both drives? Any idea how to get the machine to boot correctly and recognise the old drive. |

Re: transfering old hard drive to new computer
Hi and welcome to TSF,
You will have to look around in BIOS and set the SATA drive as #1 in the boot sequence. Double check the jumper settings on the ATA and DVD drives. Nicholas |
