My computer get wrecked during a thunderstorm the other day so I took the complex drive out and hooked it up to another one as the slave drive so I could get my files sour of it, but I don't know how to access it. Can someone tell me step by step how to find the files on the slave drive?
Where do I locate the slave drive?
Power ON, press Del or F2 to initiate BIOS menu. Check first if your slave drive is detected in BIOS. If not, check the pullover setting of the hard disk. If slave, it should connect to the middle connector of the ribbon cable. If master (on lesser IDE), it should connect on the end of the cable. Once detected contained by BIOS, it should appear in Windows as another drive message. If NOT detected in BIOS, it is probably DEAD.
look at rear of your hard drive <physical> check jumper setting it is marked near M<master> s<slave> Auto <auto detect>
As your computer boots up, click repeatedly on the f2 key and when you procure into setup, you will see your drives.
If you even have a slave drive it will be down there.
Click on MY Computer deity and all your drives should show up here Click on the old drive and copy and soft mass them to your new drive
Just look surrounded by my computer for it. The drive should show up as something like E:\ or F:\ etc depending on how plentiful devices you already had.
If it is not showing up here it is either unmoving, had its hedge tables wipe out, or you have not connected it properly.
Check the facts cables, they must not be reversed and if you are using 1 cable for two drives you must enjoy them jumpered properly as master and slave.
