I just put together a computer system. Harddrive( master primary) and crwriter (secondary master). Everything went well. I have an older harddrive I would like to take some files from and install onto the new computer hard drive. However, when I slave the old drive on the primary ide cable and start the computer it wants to load all the old drivers. This is a problem. How do I stop this and make myself able to copy select files over to the new system?
Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance
 
your pc could be trying to boot from the old hard disk if you had an OS installed. check your BIOS settings
 
what does your system do ?

what exactly are the "old drivers". I just think windows (what version do you use) is installing a driver for your harddrive. thats all. it does not install any old drivers. just let windows install the IDE driver for your HD (winXP & 2k does show you if it has found new HDDs right after logging in), copy the files & shut down your PC & remove the old HDD.

Then you can restart & everything is fine. It won't use the dirver it installed before bec. after removing the hdd there is no device to work with.
