I have a computer an Intel Pentium II that the mother board died (could see burned chips on board). In this computer I had a 10GB hard drive (master) and a 30GB hard drive (slave). I have since have purchased a new computer, a 3.0 Pentium 4 clone, 512 Ram, 80GB hard drive. I would like to install my old hard drives into the new computer to get the info out of them and into my computer. The problem I am having is that when I set the jumpers on the old drives to slave the new computer does not automatically see the new installed drives. It will not allow me to configure the BIOS to show that I am adding a new drive. Can some one tell me how to properly add another drive? Everything I've read thus far says that the system will automatically see the drive and configure it. I have not been able to get the new computer to see the drive. Will there be a problem with one of the old drives (the 10GB) having OS installed in the drive, I think it is 2000.
Thanks for the help.
