my old computer was using a maxtor diamondplus 9 and my new comp was using a 80 gig WD caviar se (both ide, ata, and set as master)
then i took the maxtor from my old comp and set as as primary slave to my WD (primary master) and it booted up fine
then i put the the maxtor from my new comp back into the old and it wouldn't read
then i turned on my new comp and my WD COULDN"T read either!
then i set the WD as p[rimary master and the maxtor as primary slave again and it still won't read!
the drives won't spin and even after i pulled off the data cable and then powered it on my drives still won't spin!
help!
