Adding formatted SATA HHD
Last response: in Storage
Quick question, hope someone will answer...My old mobo gave up the ghost and instead of replacing it, I just bought a new rig (P5N32-E SLI, QX6700, 2GB PC2-8500, WD1500ADFD). the problem is that I didn't back up my work on the old computers HDD (Seagate Barracuda 7200.7) Since I can't use the File Transfer utility to import my files to the new HHD I'd like to find out how to add the Seagate (OS-XPHome) to the new computer (OS-XPPro), retrieve the files, and then use it as a bulk storage drive. Both HHDs are OEM (no manuals for reference) and both SATA. Can I just add/install the old drive intact (as :E) and revise the BIOS, or is it more complicated than that. The Seagate has a jumper block which is labeled "factory use only", which brings to mind slave/master status, ala IDE.
Thanks in advance for any help.
