Hard Disk Problem..........

Postposted on Sat Nov 07, 2009 11:51 pm

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my Hard Disk.

I want to connect with another one. I don't know about Jumper.

Can anyone tell me How to set Jumper??

Modern SATA drives don't need jumpers to be set. You plug each drive in to its own thin cable.

Older PATA drives should be set to "Cable Select" anyway and the drive on the end of the cable will be master, the drive in the middle will be slave. Make sure you get the right end of the cable plugged in to the motherboard.

Only on really old PATA drives do you actually need to set Master with Slave present and Slave on the two drives.

If you find the actual drive number and post it here then we can google it and help more on the settings.
