Thanks for the report (and sorry I lost patience - although I have to say
that I was exaggerating a bit for effect!).
It was worth the experiment. I'm sorry that the new cable didn't help,
though.
At least we can now eliminate that from consideration.
Yes very frustrating.
In the end I put a spare drive in my old machine installed a fresh copy of
XP and then managed to hook up the spare IDE drive which was seen in my old
XP drive with no problem, I then used my USB storage device to copy and
transfer to my new machine, long winded but at least I haven't lost
anything!
Thanks again for your help!
