help with barracuda 7200.7 160g hard drive as a master?
I have an older pc with windows xp, a barracuda 7200.7 160g as a master and i got a WD Caviar blue 500g to install as a slave but i need help with the jumper settings on the barracuda it has only 8 pins and three different ways you can set the jumper, one says "master on" "slave off" an other says "cable select" and the other limits the drive to 32g, i tried the "cable select" setting for the barracuda and the "cable select" on the western digital and nothing, i can't see the new drive on "my computer",then i tried all the other settings and different things happen but i can't see the new drive at all. Is there an extra step I'm missing or need to do? I almost forgot, they both plug on to one interface with an ide cable. the western digital has 10 pins and 4 different settings one says "cable select" 2nd says "master or single" 3rd says "Master with slave present" and the other says "slave".Please help.
The Seagate should be set as master and the WD should be set as slave.
Depending on how old your computer is, it may not recognize a 500Gb hard drive. Check with the manufacturer's website for your model.
Also make sure that the Seagate is installed at the end of your cable.
