Some troubleshooting steps/link,
Thanks shinma, good info in the link.
We actually had another HDD but it was not plugged in, so we plugged it in and got it booted up and so far is working fine.It was set up with winxp, just no other programs, bookmarks etc. The only way we can see the old HDD is to unplug the new one. We don't know how to make it recognize both.
Is there an easy way to copy the info from the old one to the new one? Will it copy any virus that may be on the old one? The old HDD is SATA and the new HDD is IDE if that makes a difference. We still have to update this HDD with all the winxp updates etc because it has been sitting idle for awhile.
Thanks for the info/help.
Should I post hdd questons in another forum?
More folks would see it in Desktop Computer Hardware and that betters your chance of getting the help you want.
Thanks Train.
