    Is it possible to use a laptop Samsung MP0804H 2.5" drive as a slave drive in my IBM Lenova Desktop? How would I asign it as slave if there are no jumpers to set?
    I am installing the 2." drive with adapter to fit in an existing empty bay with an IDE adapter to interface with the IDE connection internal.

    Thank you!

    Yes, you can set it as a slave drive. I attached a diagram below. The green box actually has the info needed, but I made it easier to figure out for ya. ;) As I'm sure you already know, you're going to need an adapter kit like this one.

    Good luck!! :-D

    Ahhh! Yes, upon closer examination I did find the jumper legend on the sticker on the drive. I am getting older and can't see as well. I had to get my magnifier out and a good light to see.
    Thank you for your help!!!!

    Well, I got stuck with an old 20 Gigs laptop Hdd and I found once a little USB box, so I use it to save data from other computers when I Am going to do a reformat... I love it!!! I can, even take it with me to do that In "home services" and not need of adaptors like that (I used them before in regular cases).;)
