Ok I've opened my old computer...opened my new computer...plugged in the cable marked slave and it's now connected to my old hardrive and new hardrive. I set the pins on the old one to create a SLAVE drive. I rebooted and there's no extra hard drive showing. I turned off computer flipped the pin thingy on the other end (thinking I had it backwards for the SLAVE drive) and rebooted....still no extra hard drive shows. What am I doing wrong? My old computer is a Compaq and my new one is a HP. Does that matter?
