Dear Members, I'm running a 4yr old Dell Dimension series 4550. All my files 
(Word, photos, MP3s and etc.) are stored on a Western Digital Slave drive. I 
recently acquired (new) a series 8400 Dell. When I attempted to install the 
slave drive from the old computer into the new I found that the new computer 
has an ATA Master drive and that all the connections to it are unlike the 
Western Digital connections that I'm use to seeing. 

Question: Is there a way I can install my old Western Digital slave drive 
into the new computer (as a slave) using adaptor wires? Would this be 
practical? If not, what do you recommend?
 

Thank You for your advice,
 
Don DeWitt
