Hard Drive recovery..
    #5949987 - 08/10/06 09:42 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys, quick question here.. I have an old computer that won't boot, and I was wondering the best way to pull the data off of that hard drive.

Should I just connect it to my comp? Will there be a problem when I go to boot myself with 2 hard drives that think that they are "primary"?

I dunno, whatya think?

The bios will search for the master hard drive on ide 0 first and boot off it. If not you can change this in the bios. So just connect the old hd as a slave to ide 0 or connect it on ide1

Yeah, just hook it up to another computer. Might be a good idea to change the jumper on the back of it to "slave."

Cool, I'm all set. thanks guys. I hooked it up as a slave, works fine as an extra hard drive.

This sure brings back a lot of memories  from the days of windows 95 :lol:
