Solve : Can't get SATA drive up as slave? |
|
Answer» I have two ports on my Mother board,. Sata1, Sata2.. I have a hard drive that I pulled out of another computer that I want to get RUNNING as a slave, so I can pull some files off. I can SEE the Hard drive in the Disk manager but in has to Drive letter or partition. The drive is a WD2500JD, Its one of the older SATA drives that has jumpers on it. I moved the jumpers to every posible setting. Still I can NEVER actually view the files. What is the file format of the drive? Is it seen correctly in the BIOS? What is the operating system? What is the model of the drive? How are the jumpers on both drives set now? NTFS... BIOS is set to Auto detect Secondary HDD.... its a WD2500JD.... The primary Disk has no jumpers(Dell HDD)...The Western Digital has a jumper that are currently on pins 7-8. Thanks.And what are those pins SUPPOSED to set it up as?Doesn't really say in the manual... (no help). I pretty much just got fed up.. and started moving the jumper around.Random behavior does not get solutions.

There is no Master Slave in SATA its One port One Device. Period. Those jumpers might be for data speed on your drive as well, and you may need Drivers , for some of the older drivesYea.. ok..well the drive is up and I can see it in Disk manager... but it was not assigned a drive letter... So I can't open it... Any fixes?In disk management can you not just right click and click Change Drive Letter? Dose Disk management show the disk as active? |
