: Brand New Gateway PC. Want to add old drive from Win 3.1 computer to copy files to 40 gig drive.
: Current Config:
: Windows ME
: Primary Master - 40 gig WD
: Primary Slave - 250 Zip Iomega
: Secondary Master CDRW
: Seconary Slave DVD
: Tried to add 340 meg WD (Win 3.1) as primary slave with all combinations of jumper settings. Bios sees 340 Meg drive but 40 gig drive shows up as C and D drive in Windows ME and at dos prompt. 340 meg drive never shows up except in Bios.
: Help !
