I think you lost that info when you updated your avatar, its not under your name lol.
Harddrives typically have 3 or 4 pin settings
Master
Slave
Cable Select
and the optional one that ranges from manufacturer to manufacturer and drive type.
Harddrives these days have diagrams on the top of the harddrive depicting the jumper settings. _________________

u need a jumper, a little white/black piece that covers 2 of the pins as it shows in the diagram! look on another old hdd or something to find one if it DOEsNT have 1. Then just put it on the 2 pins that it says enables slave/CS _________________ Hotswap Tutorial|FTP Tutorial|HyperX Flashing Tutorial
