Hello this is my first post, im sure i will feel right at home here
Ok my problem is that I bought a new Hard Drive 2 days ago ( Maxtor/Quantom 20 gig 5400 rpm ) and it worked fine for the first 2 days. Last night i turned my computer off for the night and today morning when i tried to turn my computer ON it said my slave drive ( maxtor ) wasnt being detected. I couldnt load to windowsXP pro also cause while loading it said my IBM Deskstar ( Primary ) wasnt detected. So i unplugged the maxtor from the ATA cable and powersupply and i booted to windows with my IBM.
This is prolly the jumper settings but the jumper settings in the maxtor booklet on the Hard Drive itself didnt work, cause when i set the jumpers to slave, the HD wont be detected. So my friend told me to take the jumpers out and it worked fine ( but this was 2 days ago when i was installing my hard drive for the first time )
I tried putting the jumpers on " Cable Select Enabled " and that didnt work either and I did try the slave jumper settings from the IBM hard drive. None work so I took the jumpers out completly from the Maxtor and reboot and to my suprisement the HD was being detected by Bios and everything worked well and i booted to windows.
Now is there a chart or something to set the jumpers on the maxtor so it works well with the IBM Deskstar so I wont get this problem in the future?
