hi guys , this is the second time this happen to me , 2 deffernt systems . but i got same result on both .
the pc was runing win xp home , i decided to add a bigger hard drive and reinstall winxp on the new HD and place the old HD as slave , so i unpluged the OLD drive and i installed the new drive , then installed windows ,, every thing went fine , and after loading all the driver for wnixp , i changed the jumber setting on the old HD as slave and i place it on the same IDE cable with the new one .
the bios saw both HD and windows loaded fine , but when i try to access D "old drive" i get the msg " this drive not formated , would you like to format"
it happen twice , in both cases i used totaly deffernt parts .so what am i doing wrong and how do i fix it . one of them i even took it and add to another pc to see if i can get the data out but i have no luck
