| 414522 | 2005-12-21 02:25:00 | There's several tricks to getting this to work. I assume you have both hard drives on one cable, and the CD/DVD drive on another. I assume you only need to attach the small drive long enough to get the contents off it. Disconnect cable from the CD/DVD drive, and hook up your small hard drive. If you want to double check your work, jump into BIOS while the PC boots, usually by pressing the "Del" key. You should see both drives. Also while the PC boots, you may see it appear briefly as part of the initial boot process. Later, you'll get a message from Windows that says "Windows has detected new hardware." If you can't see the hard drive, and assuming it's still the only drive attached to the CD/DVD drive cable, try various settings by moving the jumpers, first to "master" and then "cable select" (CS for short). Hope this helps. |
