Do you have another HDD to install ?If so post here what make it is and someone will tell you where to set the jumpers (don't panic)the jumpers are little plugs that go on the pins at the rear of the drive and it will not be a big deal. |

| 496465 | 2006-11-07 01:37:00 | I don't have one as of yet, I just needed to make sure one will fit. Now I know it will I will purchase one and post again for help on where to set the jumpers. Thankyou so much for your help so far :D |

| 496466 | 2006-11-07 01:47:00 | No problem. Which ever brand drive you get you can go to their web site and there will be pics etc to tell you where to set the jumpers.It does not matter which is which but you can only have one as master. |

| 496467 | 2006-11-07 07:01:00 | i remember when i was using IDE the seagate drives had the jumper info printed on a sticker on the drive... i'm sorry if my previous post was confusing but it basically covered everything you need to do/know, just re-read it a few times... i'll admit it could use a rewrite but i was trying to be brief :o and yes just put the harddrives on any plug on that cable, then set the new drive to 'slave' and you _should_ be sweet |
