need help with a 'slave' hard drive

<< < (3/6) > >>

shardian:
Here is a picture of what you should expect on the hard drive to set it.

shardian:
Aggg you beat me to it. ;D

ChadTower:

Can't be that old... it's 120g.

gavkiwi:
ok, it is set to the last setting 'limited drive capacity', will change the jumper settings and try again...is it normal to get nervous when opening up the case of a PC when doing this type of thing?

I'm not exagerrating when i feel like Im operating on a person in an ER. When I bought the new 512mb graphics card for this new PC, CC said they would charge $45 to install the graphics card, forget that....did it myself, that was quite easy, this 120gb hard disc was used as a secondary drive on my old pc, working just fine, I thought I wouldnt have to change a thing for the new one (PC), thank you guys I have more info, thanks again

ChadTower:

Nah, you're fine being a little nervous.  You'll get used to it quickly.  Just make sure there is NO power to the machine.  Unplug it and I'll often let them sit 5-10 minutes so the power supply caps discharge.

'limited drive capacity' is probably so that it can be used with older hardware that isn't able to support a full 120g controller.
