I am beyond confused with these new found fangled Hard Drives.
I have
1 60GB WD HD
1 IBM 120GB HD
1 Maxtor 120GB HD
The WD is easy to understand. Put this jumper here, and you will get master. Put this jumper here and you will have slave. Put it here and you will have cable select.
The IBM and the Maxtor are just flat out stupid.
The IBM has over 8 different settings depending on the options you want. I have NO Idea how it works. I just spend the last hour testing out confgs with the jumpers to get it to work with my Yamaha F1. As it turns out I could not get my IBM to boot as the master with the F1 as the slave. So I switched the two and now it seems to be working. Still very mad about this...
Now on to the Maxtor. The WD is set to Master on on the primary IDE chan. The Maxtor... I dont really understand the jumper settings, but they are fairly simple. Anywya, I tried EVERY jumper option there is and it will not boot up. My Bios reports the slave slot as empty.
Yet if I remove the WD, the drive is found no problem.....
If I put them both on, WD Master, Maxtor Slave, then my Bios finds the WD but not the Maxtor.
I am so confused... What ever happend to just Master and Slave settings ?
Why do they include all this extra crap I don't need!
If anyone can figure this out I would really be thankfull.
Does the IBM 120GB require two jumpers ? It has countless picutres of jumper settings that show two jumpers. But for the past 5 months I have always just used one jumper (it came with just one)
