Hi list,

Please Help.

I removed a 40g hdd(IDE) from a machine that had a busted motherboard.

Now my problem is the 40G hdd had XP installed on it and i want to add it to another comp
that has 160G hdd(SATA) with XP also.I have googled and i aint getting the info i want.The computer restarts over and over again when the 2 hdds are installed.

Which is the best way to make them work together since the 40g hdd has important data i need to retrieve.

NB: am sure the 40g hdd is working fine.


Isn't it as simple as making the 40GB disk the slave disk??
