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 ?
