bucky 0 Posted August 23, 2000 I´m trying to take one of my old slave-discs from my old PC (running win95) and putting it into my new one (running win2k). I´m doin this to move over some gigs of data to the new PC. My problem is that the win2k PC can´t detect the HD ...can´t a win2k PC detect a FAT32 disc or what can be the problem? ...anyone got any ideas? Share this post Link to post
Bursar 0 Posted August 23, 2000 It should be able to read it no problem. The main thing to check is that you have jumpered the hard disks correctly. Tour original drive needs to be Master with Slave Present (not always the same as Master Only). Also double check the new drive is set for Slave. Go into the BIOS and detect the drive in their. This will make sure the PC knows what the geometry of the drive is. If your IDE channels are set to Auto-Detect you shouldn't need the above step. Windows should then see the drive properly.
