Hi,

When you slaved the HD to your XP computer, did you change the jumper
setting on the XP drive to Master and the jumper setting on the ME drive to
slave? Also make sure you pluged the primary into the XP Drive then
secondary to the ME when using the IDE cable to IDE channel 0. The other
way is to put the ME drive to secondary master IDE channel. Ensure your
boot order is primary master. The main thing is to ensure the jumpers on
the drives are correct.
