But what about the IDE?

Hmm, took a slight step backward - added the IDE drive.

Gave it power, plugged its ribbon cable into the relevant socket - didn't move the jumper on the back of it (so it's still in "Master" mode for IDE).

Machine doesn't seem to recognise it at all.

I *have* looked at the manual - I see no signs of anything being disabled by default, or requiring a tweak.

I've got another one to do soon - wife's computer will have new mobo (same model), proc, video card, RAM....but keep the same HDD.

I did wonder about "copying" the old HDD to a new SATA one - but not aware as to "how".
