How to set master and slaves?

[fenderbass86]

I need to copy files and programs from my old IDE hard drive. I've got it plugged into my DS3 atm but it recognises it as Master 4. Master 3 is my 80GB SATA2 HD and Slave 5 is my 250GB SATA2 HD. How do I make my old hard drive a slave?

I was told it needed to be a slave. Oh well, do I just use windows transfer wizard then?

Ok, i've got my old hard drive as a slave. Now if I want to transfer all my old files on to the new hard drives I should just be able to go into the HD on 'My Computer', but it says 'the disk in drive F is not formatted, do you want to format it now?'. Should I or will I lose my stuff on it?
