Hello,
I've been putting this off because I knew it would be a hassle.
My old computer which I used for 10 years was a 1998 Dell. I recently finished building my new custom PC and its been great. Now I just need to transfer some files from my old PC to my new one.
I took the old hard drive out of the Dell, hooked it up to my new computers motherboard using the ribbon cable, and attacked the power cable from the power supply.
I expected it to just list the new hard drive as like drive e:/ . But it is not reading it. I'm told I may have to do something using the BIOS?
Anyone know how I can get my new comp to read this old drive.

Hard drive informationl:
Old: Maxtor n256 IDE 20gb hard drive.
New: Western Digital SATA 500gb hard drive
