Is this a possibility? I have a Dell Dimension desktop and it doesn't acknowledge my hard drive. I have a new one to install. Is there a way to transfer my files onto the new hard drive? I'm not afraid of opening my tower to try to exhaust all possibilities before taking my tower to a computer shop. Any suggestions or advice would be helpful! Thanks. |

What Puppy version are you using? The newer versions try to auto-detect the hard drive and show icons on the desktop. Do you get these? Can you click on them and mount the drive? If not, your best bet is the "freezer" trick, but you need a USB-IDE cable. The idea is to remove the drive and cool it down in a freezer. Then bring it out, connect it via USB and see if Puppy can detect it. |

Suzanne G, There is no need to ask twice the question. Please stick to the thread you opened already. _________________ Time savers: Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu). Consult Wikka Use peppyy's puppysearch |

Goodbye data. //////////////// After you pop in your new drive.... You can run GParted on the new drive and hide the first partition... in fat 32 so you still have a recovery drive.
