Well I finally got one, but I can't get it working

I've connected everything ok, I put it on, the harddrive buzzes, but it's nowhere to be found. I'm running Vista, and I tried mom's old computer with Win2000 on, it "found new hardware" and installed the drivers, but it still won't find it It shows the "safe removal" icon in the taskbar, but it won't display the harddrive.

I then checked the device manager, and it said that the device cannot be started, so now I'm like WTF? What the hell do I do now?

I thought the harddrive might have died for whatever reason, but since I can hear it buzz I thought it might work after all. But no..

as someone kind of mentioned, even if your new mobo runs scsi hard drives, there is usually still an IDE slot for dvd or cd drives. you can plug the old drive in there, after setting it to slave, and then go into the computer bios, usually you hold 'del' while the computer is rebooting - and you can change where it will look for drives, etc.

its entirely possible to have two types of HD on the new computer|
