help - jumper settings.
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2003 1:35 pm
my computer has only 1 hard drive in it right now.
i want to put in another HD (from my sister's computer) to copy files off it.
according the the info from the manufacturer's website - IBM (took some digging up ) http://www.hgst.com/hdd/support/d60gxp/d60gxpjum.htm
the possible settings are:
Master, Slave, Cable Select, Slave Present.
right now (as a single HD in the system) it's configured as Master.
my question is: what's the difference between Master and Slave Present?
if i want the hard drive to be a master with a second drive on the same IDE channel, should i leave it as Master or change to Slave Present ?
thanks.
