I reallly need help!!
I want to copy all my files from my Hard Disk(fujitsu-6GB) from my old (non-operational) computer (pentium3-win98) to my other computer (pentium 4-xp) so I disconnected the HD from the win98 computer.
and now I have some quesions about connecting it to my win-xp computer before I open the computer box.
1) my xp-computer is a tower can I just ly it down and continue working with it?
2) i've read somewehere that I should temporarily connect the HD to the secondery-IDE port (and temporarily disconnect the connected CD-ROM ) or alternatively is there a free port for connecting my hd?(I didnt open computer(xp) box yet so I dont know)
3) about jumpering: should i set it as slave,master,csel?
I appreciate so much your time and effort to read this

If you are using tower type computer, it is not recommended to lie it down.
You can disconnect CDROM and connect Hard drive. Here is how to install hard drive (http://\"http://www.cheapest-computer-hardware-software.com/build-pc3.html\").
You will get information about the jumpers.
