You connect ide and power cables to you old hdd, boot to windows and it doesn't appear?
Tryed the bios to see if it's properly configured?

i have no idea what to do what and how do i check if the bios are correct?

What are you trying to do? What is your purpose of booting off the old HDD vs the new HDD?

i finally bought a new pc but i want to recover my pics on my old pc.what can i do to recover the files that i want?my new pc has windows xp..yippy!!!

How comfortable are you with taking your old hard-drive out of your old PC, and putting it into your new PC as a second hard-drive?

Oh. OK.

You don't need to boot it up, don't even try, just boot up as normal, and then go into Explorer to access the files on the old hard-drive.

Change the jumper on the old HDD to slave or cs or remove it.

Whats that have to do with jumpers. Did you change them?

Edit: Now I know. Besides the jumpers. Probably ME HDD is FAT32 & other is NTFS.
