having the time today, i decided to reconect the old drive as the secondry drive, and the new one as the primary. after hours of being told that neither drive was recognised, and hours of not being able to boot up at all, i am now in the position of,
Both drives are now connected properly.
Both drives are recognised by the computer in the hardware section.
The 120gb drive is the master, the 40 the slave { no jumper in slave )
In "my computer " c drive is identified as the 120gig drive. no evidence of the 40gig drive at all, although both have been found in the device manager and are apparently both enabled. getting very confused and cheesed off now.
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.
KEVIN.
