You did not need to post to so many newsgroups.
What version of XP are you using? SP 2?
Did you buy an IDE drive?
Do you know how to get into the computer Bios?
Did you put the second 40 GB drive in your computer?
1. Disconnect the CD drive and use the cables to connect the 300 GB drive.
2. Make sure the drive is jumpered correctly.
3. Start the computer and enter the Bios.
What size is listed for the drive?
127 GB?
If yes, then you are going to have to buy a card for connecting the 300 GB
drive.
Do not try to clone your old drives until the Bios is recognizing the 300 GB
drive.
