anybody here good with computer hard disks?
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.

You will only need to have the IDE cable and the power cable connected to your secondary/slave drive.
You shouldn't have to make any changes to your BIOS.
Boot your system up and then go to the Disk Management pannel which can be found by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting "Manage". It looks like the attached image.
You can now format your newly installed drive. A Quick Format should do the trick and you can now being using it as a file system. You can set up partitions and whatnot from here as well.
hih man.

he wants the new hard drive to be the main :fawk:
the sticker on your hard drive should say which pins are for which jumper setting
master goes on teh outside, slave goes in the middle.
all you have to do is boot to an OS cd and isntall your OS, MAKE SURE you isnatll it on the partition of your new drive and not the old one
after xp setup is done you'll see 2 hard drives in my computer.
