Hey guys. Here's a quickie for ya:
Just installed a new HD, and I'm using it as the main drive now. I wanted to use my old drive as the slave drive, but I can't get Windows to recognize it. Any suggestions?

Setting your old drive to slave while setting your new drive to master would be a good start.
Seriously, would giving us a little more information kill you?

Had a 40G drive as the primary and only drive. Installed my new Maxtor 10G drive (shut up, I have my reasons), and switched the cable so that the "Main" plug was in the 10G drive, and the "Slave" plug was in the 40G drive. Installed my OS on the 10G drive, booted Windows, and for some reason I can't access files on the 40G drive. Windows doesn't even recognize that it's there.

Did you also reset the jumpers on the hard drives? It's not enough to just switch the IDE cable positions, you need to set the jumpers on the drives to master and slave respectively for the 10 GB and 40 GB drives. That should solve the problem. Otherwise all kinds of interesting problems tend to crop up.
Another thing that could affect it is the type of IDE connection depending on how old your system is. When I switched operating system from Win98 to WinXP on my current machine (about five years old), I had to switch from using UATA66 to standard IDE because WinXP was unable to find the hard drive on the faster bus (because it was the third IDE bus, not the first).
Hopefully this info should fix your problem.

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?
