The Jumper Settings
Go the website of the company that manufactured your drives. Find the correct jumper settings and set the jumper for the one you want as master at the master pin and plug the main IDE cable into it. if you want to run the other as slave, find the correct jumper setting for slave, then plug the second IDE cable into it.
he is the master of fire and the 2nd best jumper ever
Some IDE drives have a master/slave jumper, but a significant number of IDE drives defaulted to a "cable select" setting where the drive would determine for itself whether it was the master or the slave by which of the two sockets on the cable it was plugged into.
The function of cable select jumper setting is to let the cable select which drive takes priority ("master") and which one comes after ("slave").
depends on the BIOS and the Hardirves. Some older IDE drives have a switch or a jumper on them that u can select Master or Slave. Some computer you can change this in the BIOS. Master being the controller and slave being the controlled
A jumper is used to complete a circuit on a motherboard or other device and thus signal a certain mode of operation, such as "the BIOS should be in recovery mode" or "this hard drive is the Master device."
master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.
master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.
Jumpers can do a lot of things, some motherboards have many of them. Basically they are a manual switches, that can be closed by shorting them with a jumper cap. Some examples are, jumpers that set the CPU speed, or reset the BIOS memory.
