Okay I have an old IDE 60G hard drive sitting around that I had in my old computer... problem is I would like to retrieve some documents and stuff off of it. Is this possible since it was set up as a OS installed HD? I tried hooking it up to the IDE port but when I turned on the computer the S wouldn't load from my current HD (I had the old one set to slave)

The way I connected the old HD was through the IDE connector that was also attached to my DVD drive... is that correct? My MB(GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 ) only had one IDE/PATA connector slot and I used both connections on the IDE ribbon.

Any suggestions on what I could try?

Sorry if this sounds real confusing... I'm still trying to get a clue on what I'm actually doing.

Thanks!!!
