Hey Guys,

I'm sure I'm the dummy here, first time I've done this. Finally got a 300GB Drive to reinstall and move stuff from old "hosed" 200GB drive (XP) vs. doing the dirty install that everyone warned against.

Ok, so, the SATA drives do not see eachother so that I can move my stuff! I have another IDE 120 GB in there that is recognized and works fine. Now, the old drive still has the hosed operating system on it and I've booted to it with little problem. However, I'm not sure what I'm doing and don't want to lose the info on old 200GB before getting it on new 300GB. System recognizes them however they do not show in control panel. Can't move anything if I can't see it!

What am I doing wrong? Was there something I needed to do in BIOS? New at the SATA thing......I'm like the mechanic who fixes Lincoln and Lexus but drives home each day in a Vega!

Thanks,
Sharon
