OK, the HD is a IDE, the jumpers are set to CS (16 head?) I think the IDE cable is 40, or 39 with the one pin hole blocked, the computer I would be hooking it up to is a new build. (Asus P5k-e MB, Intel Q6600, 2x 1gb ram DDR2, 500 GB SATA HD, BFG 8800gt-oc2, VISTA Ult. 64bit)
Since I already have a HD in the new build that I want to keep as the master, I need to set the jumpers to "slave" correct? Another question...Will there be any issues with the fact Windows XP Home OS is on the IDE drive? Or will it not matter since it will be set to slave? And once I copy the data I need to another drive or DVD, how would I go about erasing the OS from the IDE drive so that I could use the HD in a new build for my niece. It is a 80GB HD so I would like to utilize it if possible.
I know I ask alot of questions and I hope I am not being a pain...You have already helped turn on many light bulbs for me and I appreciate the help very much!
