I recently recieved a new computer for my birthday. Way faster and more powerful than the one I have been using for years. Yay! So, I set it all up and it works great. Now all I need to do is transfer the important files from my two old (small) HDs to my new huge one in my new computer.
I hook up one of them as a slave in my new computer, and everything works fine. I transfer all the stuff I need, which wasn't much because this HD just had games and stuff that I would have to reinstall anyway. Now, on to the next one that had a majority of my most important files.
I hook it up as a slave just like the other one.
Computer: What is this? It is unknown hardware! I cannot detect it! *Fizzle*
I go "what the heck?" Everthing is connected and set up correctly (as far as I can tell) but it wont detect the hard drive. I try a few more times, and I can finally access it through My Computer(BIOS still does not detect it on startup). But it wont let me into my username ("E: \Documents and Settings\[username] is not accessable. Access is denied.") so I can't get any of the files.
I take it out and go back to my old computer, and set up the two hard drives like they were before. Wee.
*Power on* Blank monitor screen. Everything is connected.. Computer makes normal startup noises.. but no picture. WTH.
*Disconnectes slave (important HD) and powers on* Cannot detect Slave 1. F1 to continue. *Windows starts up* Okay then, that works fine.
*Uses important HD as master* Cannot detect Slave 1. F1 to continue.
(Some file name) is missing. Please restart.
I've been trying to figure this out for days. I can't access my important HD files because it doesn't allow access from another HD (login requred?) but I can access "All Users" and things in the HD directory (E: ). I can't get it to work like it did before, or use it as a primary like I used it before I got the second (less important) HD. This is extrmely frustrating. If I don't get this fixed soon, I'm probably going to smash things with a hammer, then stomp them, and throw them out the window.
