my western digital wd1600 160gb hard drive suffered two blue screen errors and wouldn't reboot the second time so i replaced it. my new drive is a seagate barracuda 500gb. these are both serial ata drives and i would like to slave the old one to the new one to extract data and then wipe it clean and use it as an extra drive storage. does anyone know specifically which cable i need to do this? i have a dell xps400 and it has a slot for a second drive plus a cable that plugs into the second hard drive but the drive doesn't show up any where. there must be a cable that connect the two drives in order for this to work, right?
