2 weeks ago my poor computer died. It had been having 'issues' for a bit. I was running 98 on it with a 30 gig HD and 128 RAM. I now have an eMachine with 256 RAM, 80 gig HD,Win XP, Intel Celeron D processor 335.
I do not know what caused my old HD to not boot up but would like to at least get my files off of my old HD and use it as a slave.
When I tried installing it onto my new computer, it kept trying to boot up from the old HD. I am unsure as to where to find the jumpers and what do set them to. the old HD is a Maxtor and it says jumper J50, master/singel on and slave off is listed on the back of it.
Any advice is appreciated.
