With all Western Digital IDE drives that I have ever owned, used, sold and/or seen, you have to jumper it for Master or Slave if there is another device on the channel with it. Otherwise, you *must* simply take the jumper off or it will not work. If one reads the label on a Wester Digital hard drive, they should see a diagram that shows the jumper placed on "sideways" if the drive is the only device on the channel (though most work without any jumper, also). I am sorry that I did not tell you this yesterday. I was too busy dealing with other mailing lists right then :-). -- Lamont Peterson <lamont@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Instructor Guru Labs <http://www.gurulabs.com/>
