I have 2 Hard drives, i need the data from 1 so i wanna set it as a slave and move the data accross.
The problem i get is the old drive boots instead of the new one, i tried lots of things but i end up with the same outcome.
Hard Drive A (windows xp, want this the master drive)
Hard Drive B (windows 98, need data from here so has to be the slave)
I have Jumper settings MA (master) SL (slave) CS (cable select) NA (nothing)
The Primary IDE connector is with the Hard drive A, slave connector is in B. Hard drive A has the jumper on MA, B is set to SL. I have put these in every possible configuration but to no avail.
I used the 2nd IDE cable from the CDROM drive and set them both up with Master cable, CS jumper points but the problem still persists.
In the Bios i have checked and sometimes the drives are set in the right order (depending on what setup i chose) however it always boots windows 98.
Windows98 usually gets an error message EMM16 <cant remember the rest>, if it does try and load i receive tons of "new hardwar detected, windows will try and install" messages....after 5 minutes i switched the machine off and tried again.
1 person told me "if you try and setup Master+Slave drives on 2 hard drives with 2 different operation systems it wont work". He was not 100% on this though.
HEELLPP!!!!!!!
