IT MAY HAVE TO BE SET AS MASTER WITH A SLAVE
THEN SET THE OTHER DRIVE AS SLAVE,,YOU WILL HAVE TO DETECT IT IN BIOS THEN FDISK,PARTITION,SET PARTITION ACTIVE AND FORMAT IT BEFORE WINDOWS WILL SEE IT,,I SUGGEST YOU INSTALL IT [ALONE AND DO THE ABOVE TO SEE IF IT WORKS,,THEN ROOK CABLES AND POWER BACK TO THE NECK ALSO,,
AND CHANGE JUMPERS ON THE QUANTRUM TO SLAVE,,
THEN GO BACK IN TO BIOS SET UP AND DETECT BOTH THE DRIVES,,THE CABLE SELECT IS USED ON SOME COMPAQUES,[OLDER] TO GET JUMPER SETTINGS LOOK TO LEFT COLUM HERE IN BLUE PLANET CLOCK ON JUMPERS AND SPECS ON LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN

: hi
: my original drive is the NEC. i've tried to install the Quantum, but my machine doesn't seem to know it's there, regardless of how i try to access it. does the NEC need to have the jumpers set to master? and if so, could anyone tell me what the jumper settings would be?
: a response to my e-mail would be greatly appreciated
