Would need to know what you did. As in, did you set the jumpers properly ...is the master at the end of the ide cable? Is the connection tight?

what should the jumpers be set to on the old hard drive? b/c i just stuck it in the computer and it worked :P lol

On the hard drive there should be a diagram of how the jumpers are to be set ...or on the manuf. website ...master (the hard drive with the os - at the end of the ide cable) , slave (your added hard drive at the middle connector) or, if your mobo supports it, both set to cable select, but still in the order given on the ide cable.
