Ya not usin' a 24" IDE cable are ya? :?:

[want2be]

no, it's a 18 inch round IDE cable
blue end on mobo.black on hd,grey nothing
hd jumpers are set at" netural postion"

[Wiggo]

I always setup as masters and slaves but never as cable select as I find this settin' to cause problems at times. ;)

[want2be]

yes that was a error on me,i ment to say i set it at single netural position,thats what they recomend (wd).

so whats next?

[Wiggo]

"i set it at single netural position" wtf? :confused:

If this is the lone drive on the primary IDE channel then ya should have no jumper on it at all (this sets it to lone master and ya optical drive should be the master of the secondary IDE channel).

[//alias]

if u take the jumpers out of a WD drive, it sets it to single drive mode (master).
so yeah.
