adding 2nd hard drive
My dimension 8400 died, so I am trying to add the hard drive from my old computer to the a dimension e510 so i can recover all the information. I was able to install the hard dirve, but I am not able to see it in the new computer. What am I doing worng? The hard drive is a Western Digital 1600 160GB. The new computer runs on Windows XP.
- Each setup program is a bit different, so I'll have to guess. Here is what the screen looks like (after you press F2 at boot to enter the setup).
I think the options should be in "Drives 0 through 5". Normally there is an option to enable and disable each port. You need to enable the port you connected the drive to. If you are in doubt, you can enable them all and then you will get warnings for each one that is not there. You can then disable those.
