Adjust Jumpers on your hard disk
As has been mentioned to you, we assume you know the definition of Jumpers. The
setting of Jumpers in IDE hard disk is essential for a computer to distinguish various
devices connected on the same cable. To be general, we normally set the hard disk
to "Master", indicating the first device of the cable; and we set CD-ROM to "Slave",
meaning the second device of the cable. The Jumper settings are marked on the tag
affixed to the surface of the hard disk or mentioned in its handbook. Here we only set
up one hard disk so that it has to be set as "Master."
