Thanks so much. One last question. When I open up the computer, am I going to see the extra two cables that I need just laying there or do i have to go buy some cables? Frank

Okay, so let me see if I got this: 1. I am going to pull of the jumper to make this drive a slave drive. 2. Insert this drive into my desktop. 3. Boot the computer but hit del and get into the Bios(still not sure where to look once I get in there) 4. See if it is showing the 2 hard drives...

I'm not sure, it says pata133 HDD

The reason I haven't put my specs in my signature is because even when I go to the spec sheet it still doesn't seem to tell me what is in my machine. I have an Acer Aspire T180. Here is the spec sheet off their website. I hope it tell you what you need to know. Thank you. Frank

Thanks again, can you go into more detail on: step 1. I lost you there. step 2: do I still use the external case? step 3: where do I look when I get in the bios?

Thanks for the quick response. I don't have the manual but i have the HD right here and it is a Maxtor Diamond Max 10, Model 6L200PO, 200gb pata133 hdd. Also. there is a little chart here that tells me No jumper=ds slave or cover the 2 vertically on the left hand side=ds master. I don't know if...

That's the ironic part, this was my backup. I did try it on two other computers, same thing, in device manager but not my computer or disk management. Again, I did have it in the external case. Would it make any difference if I took it out of the case and installed it directly into my desktop...

Okay, last week all of a sudden my external storage hard drive(the kind you insert the HD into a case) decided not to work anymore. I posted a question and got some good information and here is a recap of where I am at: 1. the external HD was showing up in device manager but not my computer...

I think #3. Roadrunner comes into my modem and then I run an ethernet cable to the router and that is where I plug in ethernet cables from the two computers. Here is what my Ipconfig says if that might help you. New machine desktop: 192.168.1.3, laptop(the old machine) is 192.168.1.2. When I...

I am not able to follow the path that you are suggesting. How specifically(click by click) do I see if the file is sharing for everyone. What is frustrating is: I see the workgroup and the computer but when I click on it I get the error message that it is not accessible. On the other hand I can...

I can get on the internet from either computer. I can see the shared folders in my workgroup and get to them from the old cumputer viewing the new computers shared files. I can see the old computer in my workgroup and I can view the shared files but when I click on them to open them I get the...

Thanks Cold Storm: I am using xp. The rest of your message, I did not understand. I went to Network Connection and right clicked local area connection/properties/highligted internet protocal/properties and it said automatically get ip address and dns server. Please advise.

It worked fine last week. Now when I go through the same steps I get an error message that says: The wizard cannot locate your new computer. Make sure the new computer is turned on and that your network is working properly. It worked fine before. I am doing the same exact steps. Is there...

Could someone please tell me how to get the autocomplete to work on my email send "To" box. In other words once I type in an email address the first time, it will come up automatically the next time after typing in a letter or two. Thank you, Frank
