Hi All,
I want to add a 2nd HD from my older PC. It is a Western Digital (WD250BA - 00AGA00)
40 GB, ATA interface w/ a 40 pin connector.
My newer PC has a Seagate Barracuda ST340014A, 40 GB ( EIDE ATA - 100)
My OS is Windows XP.
I only want 2nd Drive for data storage. I have 1000's of pictures on it now. I will delete all OS ( Windows 2000 NT)
Can someone help me with the steps necessary. Jumper settings, cable connections, etc.
Thanks immensley,

Set the old drives jumper to "Slave" (SL) And hook it up to the same IDE cable ( often flat and wide) as your other drive. That is if the IDE cable have 3 connectors? 1 for the mobo and 2 for HDD:s for ex.
Just remember to remove yourself of stastic electrisity, before you start working. This is done by grabbing a water tap or kitchen sink.
Also, dont forget to unplug the PC, a couple of minutes, before you start.
