Help with old IDE drive please
I want to format this old Samsung Spinpoint SV1204H and then clone the existing 40GB drive to it.
Now even after an extensive Google I cannot make head nor tail of the jumper settings I need to use to format then clone to it. As a matter of fact is this possible even using the same master / slave cable?? Or will I have to ?use the optical drive socket and cable to do this?
Am doing it because the old 40GB is getting VERY noisy and I don't want to lose the data on it as my friend has not got a back up install disk.
Any help greatly appreciated.
