Yesterday, I am happy to say that I picked up a new mini (2.3GHz i7, 1TB). Prior to this, I used a Mac Pro as my desktop computer. I sold my Mac Pro about 8 months ago, but I kept the second hard drive I had loaded into the Mac Pro. This drive held some media and documents. Now I would like to connect this hard drive to my new mini and transfer some of the files over.
I have a sata to usb cable, I tried connecting the drive to the mini and I could hear it spinning up, but I could not get the drive to mount. Based on some reading, I am wondering if the problem was that I did not have the drive's jumpers set to master?
Do I need a different type of setup to get the drive to mount so I can transfer some data?
I am really not sure, this type of problem is far outside of my area of expertise, but if anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it! Thank you.
