My daughters hubby messed up the OS on his SATA WD HD.
REinstalling XP-Home won't work.
TOTALLY messed up.
Finally figured out how to get his HD out of his pooter and alongside my pooter case.
Was thinking of using mine [WD IDE] as MASTER and his EATA as slave so that I could pull off photos he desperately needs.
Once THAT is done his HD can be reformatted as the only thing of importance is his photos.
1. Does this scenerio seem possible ?
2. BIOS does not recognize the 'slave' SATA...!!
NOTE:
Have NO JUMPER in my WD HD as it shows I can have it set for MASTER/SLAVE ...WITH a jumper...
OR NO JUMPER and it automatically thinks itself der MASTER...
3. IS THIS RIGHT ?!?!
No amount of hair pulling will make the bios recognize the SATA ... as of now.
.....lost in space........
