Jan,
Most of the IDE HD's I've worked with have a jumper on the back of the case
which can be set to tell the Disk what it is (Master, Slave, or ... I forget
the third one-)), however the labeling is usually fairly self explanatory,
or there is a diagram on the case of the HD which you can use to configure
the thing. You must set this to the required position, as well as in the
BIOS set up. Hope this helps,
Ernie
