adam3822 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 hi i have two desktops but am looking to build them into one i have taken the hard drive out of one and placed into the other (set to slave) but i can only seem to find 90% of the files etc that i want to use. but for some reason i can not access my photos etc on the drive acting as the slave. any help would be great cheers Quote
Dalo Harkin Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 So both contain an OS yes? its easier to burn to a disk what you want and then flatten the drive (not literally - reformat it) Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
adam3822 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 so i guess using an external drive to copy all i want to keep to it the set it up on the new desktop as i would like would be the best way around it. Quote

Tootech Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 The other option, if you can is put your drive back in your old PC unit, boot it up, and copy all your data straight on to external drive. Quote
