I recently got a new computer, and well I have to face the task of getting my old data on the new one.
I wanted to ask - how can i set up my old hard disk as a slave drive such that i can use it in my new system? I know theres some jumper changing involved, but theres a few more details that i need to get worked out such as:

BIOS configuration?
which ribbon to put in? (i know how to line up the pink with the left edge of the male pins)
any other wires to connect?
anything else im overlooking?

please post info.
