[QUOTE="philbas, post: 265248, member: 5613"] If the disks still work I have always done it the wat Sellers says, along with the point made by SL, Find the jumper and set it to slave plug it inot to your existing tower, to be honest I just plug it in with the side of, dont even bother to fix it in a by just balance on something or leave it on the floor. Reboot tower, you should now have an extra drive, copy stuff, shut down, remove disk, reboot, all good. And i do this several times a year to salvage data or build new machines. Not once has it destroyed my pc settings. They important point is to find the jumper and set it to slave, or as SL says it may try to boot from the wrong disk. Just to make it clear make sure the twer is powered off when you put the disk in [/QUOTE]
