glory 0 Posted November 30, 2004 I had two hard drives in my old PC and I took them out. I tried putting them in my new PC one at a time and I could only get one to work. When I put the other drive in, I cannot see it on "My Computer". I can see it on "Disk Management" and it says healthy and active. For some reason I cannot change the drive letter, it pny allows me to delete the partition. There is some files that I need on that hard drive so I do not want to delete the partition. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post
ross_aveling 0 Posted November 30, 2004 One of them is probably setup with a [bootable] primary partition. You can only have one primary partition active at a time (usually using a boot menu to choose between them). And this one will of course clash with the primary partition already present in your new computer. If you can get hold of a partition manager (Partition Magic springing to mind) you can convert it to a logical partition or better still merge the contents with another partition; this basically copies everything to a new folder/directory on the destination drive whilst preserving it's contents.
