I have a DELL 4400 Dimension Pentium 2.00Ghz running XP.

BIOS Version A04

 

I have recently bought an External case for a hard drive and am in the process of swapping my hard drives so that I will have a 40Gb as my C drive with my system on, a 120Gb as my D drive with my music and video files, and an external 120Gb drive to back up all of my files.

Until recently I had both of the 120Gb drives as C & D and my PC worked fine.

The problem that I have is that having cloned the system to the 40GB drive and now the PC will not pick up the second internal drive, whichever I put into it.

I have tried many combinations of the drives and it will pick up whatever if plugged in as an external drive, but now will not recognize the second internal drive.

 

I checked my BIOS (although I done really understand much about it) and the Primary IDE Slave shows "Not installed"

I do not appear to be able to change this setting.

I have found the latest version of the BIOS which is shown as A06.
Will loading this help sort out the problem..? 

 

Please help....

 

Thanks in anticipation,

Paul.
