Seagate 500GB SATA HDD with Maxtor 120GB ATA

by itwiz90 . Updated 17 years, 4 months ago

My original hard disk was about to fail so I cloned it on the SATA. I was running two hard disks. The Seagate is the Primary SATA drive, but the system does not pick up the other hard drive 120GB which was the slave to my original hard drive.
On boot the prompt reads “Primary 0 drive not found”. The system BIOS shows the SATA drive, but the slave drive is now showing as unknown device. I have to press F1 to boot to the SATA drive. I changed the jumper on the Maxtor to Master since it was the only drive of that type on that cable, but to no avail.
How do I get the system to see my other hard disk? I am runing XP Pro SP3.
