Does bios see both drives? If not try putting all your drives in AUTO them bios might find them. |

Ok how's this then. On the computer you are using now to view these forums take the hard drive you are trying to install and put the jumper to slave put it in the working computer on the open plug on your main ide cable and that system should be able to read it transfer all your needed stuff to that systems HDD. Then you can format the HDD to use it in your new system. And with a router you can connect the two computers together and get back your needed files. |

Ok hulkster, Give this a try. On your hard drive, remove all of the jumper pins and then connect it to the last connector on the ribbon. I have had to do this more then once and i have no explanation to why. It should have worked setting the jumper on the hard drive to master. I even double checked with the instructions to make sure that i had the jumpers oriented right, but nothing worked until i totally removed the jumpers from the ack of the hard drive, then it worked great. As a rule of thumb, if you have a hard drive and a cd-rom drive, set up each on its own ribbon. Set each one so its set to MASTER and then hook each one up to the last connector on the ribbon, making them each a primary. So in review, you have say, HARD DRIVE hooked to IDE1 and all the jumpers either totally removed or set to MASTER and then hooked on the LAST ribbon connector (primary). And the same will be done for IDE2. Hopefully this will solve your delima. :) Let us know :) groovy~ |

Just a side note, one program that i SWEAR by for backups is called NORTON GHOST. It makes an image of your hard drive and if you can "ghost" it to another hard drive and you will have an exact image of your first. Its fast, easy and what i like best is you can even go in and pick specific files out of the ghosted image and put them whereever you want them. Its really nice. If you don't have a backup program, i highly recommend this one. Also, it might be a good idea to have a DVD writer. lol. Makes backups alot less tedious :) |

okay i removed the jumpers for both the HD and the cd rom, and plugged the last connector on the ide cable into each one, and started the pc. i went into the bios, and its recognizing both drives, however when im starting up windows and going through loading the isa bridge and all that, it wont let me read off the win98se cd....same as before. so its seeing both drives in the bios, but not in windows. what do i do now? |
