Newbie questions:
I just installed an older IDE HD that has 98se in a NEW system that has XPpro setting it as
slave and my main sata as master on a Abit IC-7 with Phoenix Award bios. I tried booting
normally into XP but the older ide HD was booting instead and naturally it couldn't finish because
it was configured for another system. I went back into bios a reset the sata to Share or one of those settings and the system will now boot into XP but it doesn't see the other HD.
As you can tell, I'm a newbie adjusting the bios and it's my first sata HD so my questions are:
Can I access the older HD via XP so I can transfer important data?
Is there a way of setting up the older HD to boot into the new system?
Mainly..I need to get data off that HD then I'll format it and use it as a removable backup.
