    Connecting a second hard drive? *RESOLVED*

    I recently bought a new computer and ALL of my stuff is on my old computer. Can someone tell me how to connect and install the old drive to my new computer? I'm aware that it involves moving jumpers and all that, but is there a site that can tell me which ones to move? Any help at all is appreciated, thanks.

    First I need to know a few things?

    How experienced are you?
    What do you have in your new computer IDE device count (CDROM, DVDROM, Hardrive)?
    What type of drive is the one in your old Computer?

    To figure out the jumper settings; you need to pull out the old hard drive and look at the labeling and set it to slave (unless you want the other harddrive to be a slave)
    Tips:
    • Google is your friend! Search before posting!
    • Name your thread appropriately... "I Need Help" doesn't cut it!
    • Always post your code!!!! We can't read your mind!!! (well, at least most of us!)
    • Allways Include the Name and Line of the Exception (if one is occuring!)
    • If it is relevant state the version of Visual Studio/.Net Framwork you are using (2002/2003/2005)

    1.) I'm fairly experienced in handling hardware.
    2.) I have a DVDROM+RW, CDROM+RW, and a Hard drive. Is that all you need to know?
    3.) Hard drive. If you want specifics, I'll have to get back to you because the drive is in my attic.

    Ok, I'll get it down tomorrow and check out the jumper settings, thanks for the help.
