1- Assuming that what you say is correct - I. E. you must install the jumper to a CS setting then why not try removing your master HD, change the jumper to a CS setting, jumper your new HD to master and reinstall both in the proper position on the flat cable.
or 2- Assume that you can use the master/slave setup with your jumpers, then remove the master, set the jumper (or remove the jumper) to convert the HD to slave, set the jumper on the new HD to master, and reinstall both in the proper position on the flat cable. For either setting, when you boot up, hold down the option key and when the arrow comes up select the HD that has OS X installed and click on the arrow to boot from that drive. Then use disk utility to check both HDs and correct permissions on the HD that was your master. After that process, employ CCC to do a back up on the new drive. Upon completion, do a restart boot, hold down ht eoption key and dselect the new drive whch should be your master. If you you boot up successfuly then go to Systems Preferences and select that HD as your boot drive. I hope that works for you.

I plan to install it into my B&W and after carbon copy, switch it to the master position. I am presently using a Quantum Fireball as my main drive. Interestingly, the B&W prefers me to set the jumper on CS instead of Master. The new drive is a Seagate Barricuda (3160815A) and should be faster than the Quantum. Question: I want to install the Seagate as a slave until I can do a carbon copy clone. Then I want to use the Seagate as my new Master and the Quantum as a slave. If the Seagate must be set to CS in order to work in my B&W, what should the jumper settings be for the Quantum? When I get the new drive, how do I set it to be the slave to the Quantum? The CS setting is somewhat confusing to me as it is neither Master of Slave. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
