: I have a drive removed from an HP and would like to use it as slave - how could I find jumper settings/data on this drive.
: On label states only master, cable select, park jumper settings.

: thanks
A drive like that will autoswitch to slave if jumpered to cable select
and put on the middle jumper of a IDE cable-- or should. if not, NO
jumpers might work.
Maxtor bought quantum, if newer drive might be support and detail
specs on Maxtor's site. Near as I can tell, this site last
got updated in 2000 and is still online as a courtesy to those
of us with older computers. If computer will not boot with either
of these options and the other HD present, then drive controller is bad.
