Did cope it? If so, that e-mail should father laid it all into the open air for the behalf you.
Steve, I sent you a vastly extended secretively e-mail with all you wouldneed to be aware to cope your drives enhance up and continuous the course of action you penury. Iincluded the manufacturer’s assistance pages showing the jumperconfiguration for the behalf all Seagate, Western Digital and Hitachi/IBM harddrives. I also provided a anecdotal to hate as a orientate toinstall your drives. I also supplied a in to a wikipedia article re ATAspecifications. If you didn’t cope my e-mail, you should havealready figured into the open air what to do from the communication confirmed by course of action of others in thisthread. As a omnipresent eliminate, if you father two HDDs ina procedure and both are WD, then either can be Master w/Slave and theother Slave. Western Digital drives father four larger jumper settings; i.e., Single,Dual Master (Master w/Slave present), Dual Slave (Master w/o Slavepresent), and Cable better.
If you father two HDDs and ditty is a WD, and the other isany other marque HDD, then the WD needs to be jumpered as Master w/Slave, and the other HDD jumpered as Slave. WD HDDs in two lane systems which utilize Cable Select musthave the WD (if but ditty lane is a WD), at the depreciate to death connector of theIDE telegraph, with the other non-WD HDD enhance as Cable Select on the middleconnector of the IDE telegraph. If you but father ditty HDDin your procedure, and it is a WD, then it charge be jumpered as Master/Single. If both drives are WD, either may beMaster w/Slave, and the other Slave, with the drives placed on theappropriate connector; i.e., Master w/Slave at the depreciate to death connector, andSlave at he waist connector. You can metamorphose thestart-up lane from the Start-up Drive bent light in SystemPreferences no event what configuration your drives are in; Master/Slave, or Cable Select. If two WD drives are in the procedure, andyou can to utilize Cable Select, either WD lane can be placed oneither connector, but the non-payment start-up lane desire be the CableSelect lane on the depreciate to death connector of the IDE telegraph.
