Hardware / moving harddisk to another computer
« on: February 15, 2005, 04:07:45 AM »
Hi all
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
