Install new hard drive
- Thread starter azblondys

I'm having problems installing a Western Digital hard drive to my Compaq Presario 5000. The hard drive is 120 GB. Model number of the hard drive is WD1200BB UDMA/100 8.9MS /7200 RPM/ 2 MB buffer. Somehow is not picking up the new hard drive. The original hard is still installed. I'm making my original hard drive the master and the 120 Gb hard drive my slave. Is their some type of special software or do I need to load some drivers or devices to make it work? I need HELP...
