Is the second drive installed? What was the problem. More than likely, the machine will NOT take your old parallel drive from your old machine. But, if you old machine is up and running, Vista has a program to transfer your data to the new machine. You have to buy a cable to do it. I got one. I cannot remember how much it cost off the top of my head, but I will say about $30. If you were nearby, I would lend it to you.... Come Visit Las Vegas.... lol!
