I have a maxtor 500gb hd which came out of my old pc.
I would like to fit it to my new dell pc, but when I opened up the ribbon at the back is a smaller size. Now I am not a techy person but I assume the 500gb hard drive is ide??
if I got a external case (usb) could I connect it to the dell via usb and use as an external drive? and also would I have to set jumper any different than slave?
If you can point me in the right direction, thanks!
if more info is needed please let me know.
And just for an addition to this post, I have scisoft sandra, it installs no problem but it wont run????
