OK so I got a hard drive from my old computer that's got 160 gigs on it and I would like to put it in this computer, or at least use it for a back up. My problem is that it's still got a lot of data on it.
My question is can I retrieve that data by plugging it in to the slave plug on the hard drive cable (master and slave drives--any nerd would know) and if that wouldn't work, could I take THIS drive out and plug the 160 in, then transfer the stuff to an external drive? This computer has a different motherboard and BIOS than the other computer so I didn't want to screw up my data.
