Hard Drive jumpers
Hard Drive jumpers
Where the hell can you buy one/some? I have an extra hard drive laying around (they both come with one), but to set my primary one to master, I need 2...I need one more.
Thats what I thought too:Jesda wrote:Weird, most hard drives only require one installed jumper to set it to master.
I can send two jumpers if you email me your mailing address (and remind me why youre giving me your mailing address).

"(Master)The vertical jumper over the J48 pins is configuring the drive as a Master. The horizontal jumper over the J46 and J44 pins is in the Storage position."
I have a "Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8". Im trying to add a western digital 40GB hard drive that I bought for my old computer.
Thanks Jesda.
Plus these days its quicker and easy to configure. I unloaded my SCSI devices long ago.
go to http://www.tomshardware.com and read up all about SATA. My co-worker is what told me about these rapter HD's. They are smokin' SATA HD's that go 10k RPM O_O;
Which im getting when i upgrade my computer to a fx-53 with full watercooled system!
Also, games like BF2 and half life 2 and whatever other game that looks neato to play comming out. I want to upgrade it fairly heavy. BF2 looks so damn sweet and the computer playing it loaded it in 3 seconds..... damn that hd speed

Besides, I don't know of too many computer places that will randomly let you return a hdd for a refund. Exchange *MAYBE* but refund, hell no.
Fry's Electronics = w00t! that's in cali tho...dont know if they have Fry's elsewhere. But yeah...need the dough first.

A tiny piece of wire and some electrical tape?? Not pretty but it works. Never heard of two jumpers, either.
I just finished helping my little bro build his PC. He got a 160GB western digital SATA for about $100. He installed it with no problem (once he figured out which way the floppy cable goes). Ive never even seen a serial ATA drive. But if I can walk my bro thru it over the phone, then anyone can install one. SATA features a 150MB/sec transfer rate vs 100-133MB/sec for IDE drives.Wingzero, is that a SATA power cable or data cable?Nab, you know government cant afford all that fancy-smancy modern stuff.

Lol i know, thats why all the computers break every day and the answer from everyone here is... GHOST IT! Ill be getting out of here after my Cisco certification to a real network but for now... i like it. I want one of those SATA hard drive but my new comp is a 64 bit laptop... comes in at the end of the week.
