File Transfer Help Needed

[Robert Shiarella]

Can someone please tell me how to temporarily install my old hard drive in
my new XP machine so I can transfer personal files to my new machine? No
matter how I hook it up it installs as a Secondary Slave and Explorer shows
it to be empty. The old disk files are FAT32. My direct cabe File Transfer
Wizard is painfully slow and hangs at the point of transfer.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the system is auto-detecting your hard disk as a SLAVE based on whatever the disk's jumpers are set as. Ensure the jumpers on the physical drive are set for a MASTER setting if that is what you want, instead of a SLAVE setting.
