Hey everyone. Just recently I had a hard drive crash. I already got a new one, but now I'd like to set the old one as a slave that way I can copy the old data onto the new one. They're both SATA drives, so when I plugged the old one in and went into BIOS, the bios recognized that the drive was plugged in but its showing that both drives are masters. then when I go into windows, there's only one drive showing up. How do I make the computer see the second drive as a slave so I can copy the files over?
