Did you just delete or reformat?  If you have not reformatted the old slave drive, do so immediately.  I think that should do it.

First thing, you need to provide more information in order for a definative answer to given.\n  I checked the www site for Buslink\n\n http://www.buslink.com/B1/c_table.shtml\n\nthey have several flavors of external hard drive in the mix, USB 1, USB 2, Firewire, Serial ATA etc....\nDepending on the Model of your particular drive and assuming you have the proper interface on the new computer ie... USB 1, USB 2, etc.. You most likely just need to download the proper driver in order for it to work. You should be able to obtain the driver on the www site I listed above, just identify your external drive by model and download the appropriate driver, once downloaded install the driver, it will likely require a re-boot.\nNOTE: Most USB Devices 1.0 or 2.0 require that the device NOT be connected when you install the driver files. You install the drivers and once installation is completed and computer restarted connect the device and your computer should do a short initialization/installation of the device.\nOne more note: If your computer supports USB 2.0 the hardware drivers may and may not have it configured properly, a large number of PC's as pre-configured have the USB set up as USB 1, in order to have it recognised as USB 2 you may have to visit the Computer Manufacturers www site to obtain a patch to enable USB 2, the drivers for USB 2 are provided By Microsoft, but again they may not install without a patch from the Manufacturer making your USB 2 be set up as USB 1. In any case USB 2 devices tend to be backward compatible with USB 1 and will install and operate on it although at a lower data transfer speed.\n If you have any further questions feel free to contact me at fsebentley@direcway.com

it is problem of data cable only as if it wud be a prob in hard disk or motherboard that hard disk ll never be detected if u reconnect also... so try with a data cable borrowed frm ur frnd and if it works conveniently u can get a new data cable...

Sounds like your system is not finding the primary channel. Its the channel that the primary hard drive is attached to. It has the operating system loaded on it. You have a primary and secondary channel. I think you better go back and re-check the connections on the hard drive, regardless of what your friend has said to you. Check that the power and data cables are attached correctly and securely. SATA cables are notorious for coming loose. \n\nThis web page has some good images for you to refer to when you are ready:\nhttp://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1778&page=7

im not really sure what the problem is it could be many things. try these tips:\nmake sure that the the drive is pluged in firmly inside the computer.\ntry reinstalling drivers for the device

Hmm, Sounds like a conflict. If it was the jumpers it would not run outside of the operating system. If it does the same think in both computers. It could be a possible mounting issue from within windows maybe caused by a resource conflict or a series of incorrect setting in the bios issued by the drive. The best think to do is buy a different model of drive instead of spending the next 25 hours trying to trouble shoot it.

Is it in a scsi raid array, or with HD overi think is 300gb., in that case you will need advanced HD drivers. download from google with search HD name and size.

hmmm. I dont quite follow that response but it strikes me as fairly well informed..\n\nIf you are attempting to put this in a computer that already works you may need to install specific drivers for the sata connection, if they were not installed by default when you installed the motherboard drivers and such. If you did not have this drive in when you installed windows, it may not have installed the storage drivers...\n\nI was thinking you may need the large drive support drivers but I am not sure. I believe that is over 137 gigs.\n\nbelow is a link to the drivers that may make it work.\n\nex. If I dont have my scsi drivers on a floppy, windows can't see the drive to install it during my windows install. \nBefore you try this I would go to windows update and see it it offers storage drivers as well.\nhope this helps.

id recommend kepping it and buying an external hard drive like myself...its easy and portable depending on what model u get!

unlikly to be a driver issue..\n\nHit\n\nStart/Run/diskmgmt.msc\n\nSelect mass storage device/removable media \n\nright click\nchange driver letter and paths\nselect something other than what its currently set to\nselect ok\napply on the message\nthere you go.....

I've seen this message before and the cause was the cable being used to connect the hard drive to the motherboard.  Try to swap out the cable and see if it works.  \n\nOtherwise, you might have a hard drive problem.

Make sure SATA is enabled in the BIOS.  Make sure that the jumper settings on your drives are all right.  Make sure that everything is powered correctly and connected securely.

I would suggest you right click on my computer and go to manage and then that will bring up a console and you go to disk management and you should be able to see what it says about your external drive ie if its un allocated or w/e. Post back with that info, btw did this hard drive work correctly in your other computer before it broke down or did it break down because the hard drive broke down or what ?

if there is a firewire jack on the external case and if you have firewire on your PC, then you can use a firewire cable to connect the external drive. if you haven't firewire on your PC, i would suggest to get a new USB 2.0 case for the external drive, it's cheaper than to install a firewire card in the PC.\n\nedit:\noops, i was wrong - PCI / Firewire adapter cards have become pretty cheap\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815124015

check the cables and power. those are the most likely culprits, especialy if the computer has been moved or jarred.  failing that go into bios and see if the computer recognizes the hard drive as there and can read it.  if you need files from it, attach it as a slave and see if you can access it....if not its probably a screwed pooch from a virus and needs to be replaced.

Your motherboard may not support this large of a hard drive.  I imagine that it's like 4 heads, 2 platters, 16000 cylinders or something.  Usually, there are three ways around this:  first, look on the drive and see if there's an alternate way that the master/slave jumpers can be set so that it recognizes the drive as a different configuration (it will identify itself as 16 heads, 8 platters, 4000 cylinders, or something like that, that the motherboard can deal with), and maybe your motherboard will read it then.  Second, when your motherboard auto-detects the drive, there are usually a few different choices for its configuration.  Try selecting a different option with the same size (it will do the multiple-head fake-out in the BIOS without any hardware changes).  Third, go on the Internet and see if there are any BIOS upgrades that will make the board work better with large drives.
