Hello everone. Hope I explain this problem right. I bought new motherboard
and new hard drive (SATA) and memory for my computer. Took out all my old
hard drives (IDE) and motherboard and change the motherboard put in the
new
and only the SATA disk. Installed my old XP PRO SP 0.0 did all the
updates.
Then I try to connect my old hard drives on IDE connection. Have PCI IDE
card. It founds all my hard drive but not my old C: hard drive. If I have
the
hard drive as master it takes forever to start XP. But it will start. And
it
start the XP that is on the SATA disk. Correct. But on my computer I don't
see my old C: harddrive. Should be like E:. So I go to System and check
hardware. And click on my PCI/ IDE card. Click update.

When I get this massage (The massage is in Swedish) but I try to
translate.
It can't find any volyme information. I can depands on that the disk is a
1394 or it is USB unit on a Windows 2000 computer.

Is there any program that can fix this problem. So I can save all my
picture
on this harddrive transfer then to my new C: hard drive.



Concerning your IDE drive...
first off , is it recognized properly in the bios?
If not...it is probably jumper wrong.

If it is recogninzed properly in the bios...
Have a look in disk management and see if it's recognized there...
and if it is seen by disk management...Try to assign it a drive letter.

If it's in disk management but a drive letter cannot be assigned...
there are several reasons for such a "problem".

Is the disk a dynamic disk?
Is there a boot manager or drive overlay installed?
or was there a third party utility installed such as "Go Back" ?
