Old small form factor Compaq Evo with 1.8 Pentium 4. It goes to a plasma table of my neighbor's. He has to use this antique machine. I got a Startech bi- directional ide/sata adapter and a Seagate hard drive. I went ahead and got a 6gb/s hd, in case he ever needs it or upgrades. I also put an ide dvd player in it to re[place the cd player. I actually loaded win 7 on it with the hard drive on primary slot last time. Its all hooked in. The two switches on the adapter are on primary(tried cable select) and the drive is on primary. I actually tried it both ways. I CANT GET IT TO RECOGNIZE THE SEAGATE BARRACUDA IN BIOS. I am now trying xp with the driver from hp site. I know this is a hard question, but any ideas? I was thinking maybe a cloning program. The ide drive still has Win 7 on it, but it is real old. WHAT ABOUT THE PINS ON THE HD? I don't even know where to put one for slave or master. I don't know how to get the drivers off the old drive and load them pre os either. The ide drive has DriverMax on it. What to do, What to do? I need to use this hard drive, since I had him order it. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas,info, etc.
