| 730653 | 2008-12-18 19:22:00 | Hi Guys I have a few SATA hard drives. Most of them have jumpers fitted to them. I have two drives that have no jumpers fitted. And these two drives are not recognised by one of my (older) PC's. Would fitting jumpers to them fix this ? May be something to do with gb/s ? Are they standard jumpers that go on motherboards etc ? Can I use those ? |
