I've installed a new, bigger, hard drive in my system. Cloned the old
drive. I'm using XP. Seems to be working OK. New drive is a seagate 160
GB.
However, the BIOS will only detect the new drive when I jumper it as
slave. It doesn't seem to like it jumpered as master. Why would this be
?
By the way, the old drive is unplugged, I'm not going to use it. So I
thought I should set the new drive up as a master.
As I say, seems to work fine as a slave. Is there any problem running a
single hard drive as a slave ? Any clues as to why it can't be
recognised as a master ?
