Allan What worked for me, if I remember correctly, was to leave the original drive set to master which is what it was at and the new drive gets set to the last setting which has different names. There is master, slave, CS or cable select, and then neutral or just blank or some other name. That's the one to use (not slave) and is the only setting that works. You will need a cable and I also suggest getting a new cable to replace the other original's. Then use Drive Setup to format/initialize the new drive (if necessary) once you get it hooked up and recognized. George
