Hello, can anyone give me an explation for this situation.
I have two drives one an 80Gbyte drive, the new one and the other a 13 Gbyte
drive the old one.
Both have windows installed on them and running fine on both individually.
I wanted to install the 13 drive as a slave. I tried having both on IDE 1 port
with the 80 as Master and the 13 as Slave. Set the jumpers OK and on start up
the BIOS recognised the 80 as master and the slave as 13.
However windows loaded up from the slave.
I shifted the 13 to IDE 2 and it still recognised the slave 13 as drive C and
loaded Windows from it. ( the CD is master on IDE 2) The BIOS recognised them
all the right way round.
Exactly how should the "Cable Select" jumper positions be used ?
Some how no matter where the 13GB drive is connected it is recognised as C:\
The cable I have is one to one.
Does this mean that there is one wire for Master Select and a different
wire for Slave Select ? I swapped the plugs but no change.
I tried this but the 13GB still got recognised as C:\
I will try changing the CD to IDE2 Slave and the 13GB to Master on IDE2.
The intreaging bit is the BIOS always changed for the new position and always
showed the 80Gb as Master and the 13 as Slave.
