PATA (IDE) hard disk drive controllers allow one or two drives to be connected to the same controller using a hard drive cable with three connectors. The controller can be used to set one drive to the "Master" setting and the other drive to the "Slave" setting. This is done by jumpers interchange and by the location of the drive on the data cable on other computers. Learn how to set the jumpers correctly.
1). Turn off the computer and unplug the power source from the system before working with the drive configuration jumpers or cables.
