Just be sure to jumper it as a "slave". It is probably currently set to be a "master". For more information of jumer setting, go to the support website of your hardrive maker (e.g., Seagate, Western Digital, etc). For an example only, see http://www.seagate.com/images/support/en/us/u5_family_1.gif Another alternative is to place the drive in a USB enclosure box, then connect to any PC that supports USB. By the way, the drive should be readable on an 98, ME, XP, or Vista machine. And, it will likely be readable on most MACs and LINUX boxes.
