    Basically im trying to add a slave drive to my comp. Ive nearly tryed all the different jumper combinations but to no avale. Ive set the MASTER drive to DS MASTER and the SLAVE to slave, tryed setting both of them to CS but still no luck. Ive checked the BIOS too whilst doing it and still the slave isnt appearing

    Anyone have any ideas why it may be doing this?

    What model and manufacturer of the computer, and drives in question.

    Master should have jumper set at Master, Slave should have jumper set at Slave, and make sure they are in the correct position on the IDE cable. Make sure drives are on the Primary IDE interface. Then go in and check the Bios settings to make sure both drives are seen and then you should be able to go from there.
