I had my computer for awhile and wanted to buy another one, so I bought another computer which is stronger and has a different CPU. I took out the hard drive of my old PC and tried to connect it to one of the new computer's power supplies on the inside, to put all the information from the old computer on the new one but it didn't work, because I think I did it wrong, when I took out the old hard drive out of the new one's power supply it was dead and it wasn't spinning on the inside...

• Thanks, I finally got a chance to look at the hard drive yesterday, I had to fix my tower first, I received it last week and everything looks good, as I haven't found any corrupted files... It seems the same as before, thanks
  for the great job! Raul R.

HD was working in old computer. Removed HD and installed in a new computer as a second drive. Moved the jumpers from Master to 'cable select'. Windows XP did not detect the HD. Powered down the PC and disconnected power cord. Moved the jumper setting to 'slave'. Again XP did not detect the HD. Opened BIOS and noted that BIOS did not recognize the HD. Exited out of BIOS and started computer. Noticed that the HD is not spinning or clicking. I don't believe that it was spinning or clicking the first time I installed in the new computer. I opened the cover, did not touch anything and placed cover back on.

• Thanks for the help in recovering my data.
