3. Set the Drive Jumpers
When two EIDE drives connect to a single data cable, one must be set as the master and the other as the slave. Most drives--such as the Western Digital drive shown here--also have a single-drive jumper setting for you to use if your PC has only one drive.
Most hard drives have jumper settings printed on their topside labels (C). If yours does not, check the manual that came with it for information about which settings to use.
Set the jumper setting on your new drive to master, and change your old drive's setting to slave.
