Since you didn't say which OS you are using it is had to say. Bacisally make it the slave drive and refomat it. John
Hey everybody, I want to thank everyone in advance for any advice they might have.
I have been experiencing some computer troubles, especially upon start-up. My computer would start-up when it felt like, and most of the time I would watch a black screen with a blinking cursor ( __ <---like that).
I assumed it had to be a hard drive problem because my hard drive was beginning to whir a little.
I purchased another drive and changed the jumper to be the master drive. Then I used the intstallation CD to make the new drive the boot drive and it copied all the files onto it.
Now, what can be done with this drive? How can I erase it completely and use it as just a giant folder purely for backup data?
Or, could I somehow put it online as a server, so I could connect to it and download whatever is in it? Maybe host a webpage or a blog? If so, how would I go about doing so?
Thanks -
Wes Lewis
