  1. That Shiny New Drive Or a drive from an older system

  2. History • We bought our new hard disk drive • Right size for BIOS and OS • Right connections (PATA/SATA) • We installed our new drive • Stripe to Pin 1 • Power connector • Master/Slave jumper set correctly – or- • Serial ATA connector and power connector • We checked that the new drive “shows up” in CMOS, if you want to look

  3. Or • We opened up the case on an older computer and removed the hard disk drive • We cannot install an older drive and expect to boot (Win98/XP) from it in our new computer – but we can recover files/data from that drive if we know where to look

  4. Where to Look • XP Documents: d:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My Documents • Vista/7: d:\Users\<user name>\Documents • At the same level as Documents will be Favories, Desktop and other directories • Can not copy programs from old drive – installation puts files in Program Files, .DLLs and Registry entries

  5. Physical Connection • Here is the back of a PATA disk drive: Jumper Block 40-pin connector Pin 1 Power connection

  6. Another Drive • Jumper location on back of drive

  7. Data Power

  8. Drive Maximums • Prior to 1995 – 528 MB • Prior to Jan 1998 – 8.4 GB • Prior to Sept 2002 – 137 GB • Now, no limit with 2^48 bits for address, but we stop at 2.2TB • UEFI allows over 2.2TB drive

  9. Physical Installation • Power down the system • Determine the max size disk system will tolerate – may be in motherboard book • Look at existing drive(s) for capacity • Pick controller, make sure jumper is set, plug in cable, add power connector • Power on the system

  10. Boot Order • A CMOS setting, maybe its own page, or part of a page • You get to CMOS at startup by pressing the DEL key (or maybe the F2 key) This could look like: IDE-0 IDE-1, etc.
