I have this new hard disk. It is 60gb I have set the jumpers (set the 60 to secondary slave) and the 20gb (my old one) to primary master.
The problem is. After I setup the hard disk.
In the startup screen the 60gb hard disk is not detected. It would just say
[Press F4 to skip] then i don't know what is happening then.

your question is not very clear, but it can be tricky getting the jumper settings correct..i would suggest you put the 60 gig on the secondary IDE channel with no other device on it and see if windows recognizes it that way...i always check it in BIOS before i go all the way to windows, if your BIOS picks it up , windows will...in any case its running into a conflict with your Primary hard drive...so modifications to the jumpers im certain are in order~

Use CS (cable select) for your jumper settings. Place both your boot drive and your extra (60) jumpers on CS then place the boot drive at the end of the cable and the extra in the middle. I have found this to never fail if the HD controller is any good.
Go into your BIOS and make sure that it is seen. If your computer is an older one you may have to update your BIOS for it to see a HD that is larger than 32 gigabytes.
Good Luck

Set both drives to cable select and then put the primary on the end of the cable and the secondary in the middle. This should help. Some computers want to be cable select only. I hope this helps.

Okay, I did this. You are upgrading to a larger hard drive, right.
You must clone the old hard drive. You need a disc for that. You put the disc in, have the computer boot to C:, and hook the new hard drive into the USB. Once the clone is a done. Remove the smaller drive, and put in the new one. I got a upgrad kit, and now my smaller hard drive, is an emergency back up.
Once the new drive is installed, the computer will start, and make you reboot.
Hope it helps.

some working structures, alongside with residing house windows XP, won't help you format a force in FAT32 mode any greater than 32GB. you could study the respected article from Microsoft I secure as a source. I unexpectedly met this situation years in the past. What I did at that element replaced into ran the FDISK application and partitioned my complicated force (which replaced right into a 40GB) right into a C: logical force that replaced into 8GB and a D: logical force that replaced into 32GB in length. whether, now residing house windows gives you the potential to format the force in NTFS mode somewhat of FAT32. I did that on my extra moderen drives and function had no problems ever on account that. remember that in case you have older utility that still runs in DOS mode, you could run into problems utilising NTFS formatted drives. residing house windows XP does no longer seem to attend to the older utility nicely.
