Question

I want to install a second harddrive into my new Dell 8300 WinXP with serial ata 120GB Harddrive. I have tried using my old harddrive (not for booting) from my Dell 8100 Win98SE Fat32. I have used the IDE cable, set it up as a master, changed the BIOS for primairy HD in AUTO. The BIOS changed it in unknown device. My system hardware configuration only recognize the serial ATA drive. What did I do wrong?
