When you connected the slave drive, did you change the jumpers on the boot
drive to indicate that a slave was present? Some drives require this.

I very, very carefully,having never done this before, attached the hard
drive from the problem computer into my own as the slave.  The BIOS
recognized it as a slave, but it wouldn't boot, it said :"disk error-press
any key to continue"?  Does this mean the hd is dead?  Or am I forgetting to
set something?  My computer uses Win XP and the other one uses Me, make any
difference?  I am terrified of hurting my own computer!  Have I maybe not
connected the hd correctly, I followed instructions about the IDE cable and
power cord.  I really, really would like to copy the info off this hard
drive onto a CD.  Help.
