hey guys
i tried searching for some solutions but none was clear enough.
heres my specs and my scenario:
asus sabertooth 990fx
amd fx 4100 quad core
gskill 8gb ram
ssd drive OCZ vertex 3 (primary WIN7 Ultimate 64bit)
Im trying to hook up my friends SATA HDD with windows xp installed on it to recover
his data and transfer it to his external WD drive.
the problem is when i connect the sata and set my boot order in BIOS to boot from primary
Win7 hangs on load. Once i connect the sata drive i cant boot in windows to transfer the files.
I know SATA doesnt have MASTER/SLAVE jumpers so i made sure everything was correct in BIOS and still nothing.
In bios I can also see the SATA drive detected.
How would i go about hooking this drive to my current rig to be able to extract data?
Do i need external SATA to USB enclosure?
