Yes, If I use as master it goes thru a scan disk and then I get scan disk encountered a data error while writing to the root directory,. This error prevents scan disk from fixing this drive. Then I click ok and when it continues to boot I get the blue screen of death that says "disk write error" "unable to write to disk in drive C: data or files may be lost". Thats why I was trying to hook up as a slave, to see if there was anything that was recoverable. I tried the trial version of the ontrack software but I didn't get any results. I think it's just toast now. There is nothing on the hard drive worth spending money on recovering. I appreciate everybody's help though!

The thing is, this is a hard drive off of another computer with important information on it that I need to save. It was starting to get disk write errors and I just wanted to hook it up as a slave on another computer to get the information off of it. Could it be that the hard drive is just toast?? I just installed it brand new a month ago.

Annette,
Since your were getting disk write errors-- it is very posible that the drive is toast. Have you tried it as the only drive in your system? (as a master drive)
If it can't be set up in BIOS either manualy or automatic, than it must be defective.
If your having problems with harddrive failers in a computer, than the power supply is a suspect. As a general rule, as they get old the dc output voltage will rise and decrease the normal life of a Harddrive or a CD-ROM. So an accurate measurement of the voltage output is essential.
