| 670356 | 2008-05-18 07:02:00 | HI all daft question I know but when you put a spare HDD into an external case do you need to jumper it to slave? I have just tried to access one and could not see it then realized it was set to master, I have put it away for today so thought I would ask. Thanks G |
