Does the Master and Slave setup and cabling apply to SATA Drives ?
I have 2 SATA Drives in my Dell Desktop and I want to swith them around as
my second drive is twice the size as my boot drive.
I have Norton Ghost and 2 USB Back up drives to help with this. I have done
it in the past withi IDE drives, Im just not shure about the SATA Drives.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Hard drive help-round 2


I tried switching jumpers around to make sure one drive was designated
master and the other slave and I got the same result. 

As soon as I turn my computer on, it pops off. I tried unhooking the master
hard drive, moved the jumper to designate the new(old/slave) drive as
master, hooked the cables and power to it only and tried to boot, still same
thing, powers on, tried to boot, powers off. 

I switched the power connectors around just in case it was the one connected
to the slave drive--same result.

Is there anything else I can do to recover the data from this harddrive ?
