This is a western digital caviar ide 80 GB hard drive. At present I have the jumper set to slave. As stated earlier, I have the drive plugged into the IDE connector because I haven't I haven't bought a case for it yet. Not sure if this matters. If I make this drive master the computer won't boot as I don't have an OS loaded on the drive. It was going to be for storage only. Thanks.
