there are these ways :\n1) open your case ,on mother board there are some sokets that there is a label ( IDE ) beside of them \n( IDE 1 ) is primary and ( IDE2) is secondery \nand your ide cable that link your hardware with your motherbord has 2 soket first is MASTER and second is SLAVE\n2) when you turn on your pc hold delete bottom to go in bios setp in there you must find basic hardware . it is always first chosse in there . in there u can find name of your hard disks and also it say you which one is master and whch one is slave\n3) you can set master and slave with set jumper on your hard disk but it is better to do not that :)\nmail me id you have any more question . u can find me on yahoo messenger too :)

try usin a ghost, copy the entire content of your original hard drive to your new one, i do this quite often, i back up my hard drive and just incase something bad happens i can just copy the entire thing from my back up drive

there is a small jumper block on the back of the cd drive....set it for slave....it's more then likely set as master and you can't have 2 masters on one ide Chanel

Formatting would be your best bet. Though there are certain commercial softwares which do this for you and then rewrite junk on the drive so that all previous info is lost but since nothing important is there a simple reformat would do. In order to do it you would have to boot into the command prompt. if you are using a certain brand like Dell or HP they have system restore which allows you to reset your computer to the day you bought it thus in effect starting out on a clean slate for any new user.\nI would personally recommend this(provided of course you have this feature)\n\nCheck out the link on Cnet about deleting data, it also has some links for softwares which will help you erase your HardDisk.

Yeah, either move the Samsung to the same IDE channel that your hard drive is attached to, or make it the master, and the ROM drive the slave, on the channel they're on now.

Your old hard drive is already formatted FAT32 so no problem there. To make it a slave just remove the jumper. It will be located on the 5 double pin set that is NEXT to the large white power connector (4 pin)

The best way will be use the HDD as slave to some other harddisk and tranfer the data.\n\nIn safe mode USB drives won't work, because there only the minimal resources are loaded. \n\nIf you can log into safe mode try restoring your machine to a previous stable point.

yeah change the hard drive jumpers to slave drive and not to master other wise you os will try and read it as your master. so just move it around till it comes on. i just got a enclosure myself took two days to figure that out

This is quite easy.  We'll configure your existing hard drive to be a master drive and your new one to be a slave drive.  Here's how:\n\n0. Print out this guide and any other reference material you have.\n\n1. Turn off your computer.\n\n2. Pull all of the cables out of the back, including the power chord.\n\n3. Get a screwdriver and open the case.\n\n4. Have a look around inside and look for a flat (thin) but wide grey cable going from your motherboard (the big circuit board at the bottom of your case where everything plugs in to) to your existing hard drive.\n\n5. Make sure there is a spare plug on the cable.  One of the plugs will be going into your existing hard drive.  Also make sure that there is space in the metal rack where the hard drives go, and that there are screw holes in the rack.\n\n6. Unscrew the hard drive and unplug the IDE cable (the flat grey cable) and the power cable, and remove your existing hard drive.  \n\n7. At the same end where the cable went in there will be a series of pins.  These are called 'jumper' pins and they're used to determine whether or not the device is master or slave.  Two of the pins should be covered with a thin bit of plastic that joins them together - this is called a jumper.  (see the URL in the sources section below).\n\n8. Look on the case of the hard drive for a picture of which pins to cover to make the hard drive a 'master' drive.  Remove the jumper and put it back on the appropriate pins.  Use a pair of tweazers if it helps.\n\n9. Look at your new hard drive and configure it as slave (using the jumper pins, just like in step 8).\n\n\n10. Place both hard drives back into the computer in the metal racks, and remember which is which (maybe use some sticky tape temporarily to mark one of them).  Screw them both into the racks.\n\n11. Attach the master hard drive, your old hard drive, to the very end of the IDE cable (the flat grey cable).\n\n12. Attach the new hard drive to the middle plug in the cable. (see the URL in the sources section).\n\n13. Attach power cables to both hard drives.\n\n14. Put your computer case back on, but don't screw it in yet.\n\n15. Plug in your power, monitor and keyboard and turn the computer on.  Hold down the 'delete' key on your keyboard immediately.  This will take you to your computer 'bios' screen.\n\n16. Select the first option in the menu.  This should list the hard drives that have been detected.  If both hard drives are in the list then you're done.  Screw the case on properly.  If not, double check the jumper settings, the IDE cable and the power cable.  If you can't get it to work, DONT PANIC! Just take your computer to your local computer store and ask for help.

Making a backup copy of anything is a personal choice; even though it could be illegal.\nHere is a program that will do it:\n\nhttp://www.blazemp.com/\nBest wishes.

There are a number of programs advertised on the Internet to do this specific thing.  I would check with either/both Tucows.com and Download.com and see what they and various users recommend.  You can then probably download a trial version to undelete your files, or worst case, pay a small shareware fee to make a good progam work.

get a NAS (network attached storage) device case.  hawking technologies makes a decent one.  basically you just enclose your hard drive in the NAS case.  \n\ntake your hard drive out of the current enclosure and put it into the NAS.

you could install it as a slave drive and transfer files and install an os, then either switch the control for master/slave (varies by computer) or just switch the cables with the old hd. (you may have to switch places too, some of those cables are short and inflexible)
