Multiple Harddrives at once? [Archive] - ForumsHQ

Post by Xilatl »

I have heared the stories about multiple harddrives being used at once, and, here I am, having two :). First of all, How do you set up master and slave commands, I went into bios and tried to set the slave to auto, but its not working :hmm:, if anyone could give me some insight, It would be greatly appreciated.

Did you set the jumper properly?

Software?

FDISK?/FORMAT?

Take the harddrive out of the comeputer, look at the back and the top you should be able from there to figure out how to change the jumpers to change it from master or slave. Set the HD that will have the Operating system on it as the master and the other one as slave.



Now turn the POS on it should see both drives.

Umm...I think SCSI would have been a lot more difficult to explain to him...
