Re: Maxtor 7L300R0 "pri slave hdd error"

I don't see an edit button so it's a double post, for which i apologise.

I've set the main drive as master with a jumper, and the second drive as a slave using the jumper. They are both on the same IDE 0 channel.

On start up, it doesn't recognise my slave at all.

Then i've set both the drive's as cable select with the respective jumper's in position, and the same thing it doesn't recognise the drive.

It seem's to be a configuration issue, but i think i've tried everything possible.

Maybe the Maxtor HD is one of those drive's that need's to be put as Master

I don't really want to put a HD drive on the secondary channel, so i'm thinking if i set the slave as the main master drive and the current master as the slave, then maybe that will solve the problem.
