Hi senyorito .. I would assume you have an "IDE" drive , and typically at the bottom end of it (beside where you connect the IDE cable and the 4-prong power cable) there is a white(sometimes brown) 'thinge' which is the "jumper". You can pluck this out and re-insert(or not insert back at all) to allow you to configure your hard drive whether you will use it as a Master (mainly the bootup drive) or a Slave (just an add on drive). Try this link: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=jumper+ide+drive&gbv=2 This will tell you how the "jumper" looks like. Now, here's the tricky part , every vendor has their own way of placing the "jumper" in the IDE drive , so you will need to tinker around the drive's manual to do this. Hmm, one thing you can try though is to ensure you set your "first drive" (Current drive at your pc) to MASTER, then for the new "second drive" , just "pluck out" its jumper and don't reinsert back. Your motherboard in some cases will configure your system based on the "cable arrangement". However, if this does not work , you will have to do some trial and error .. Sorry, for my experience, this can be a bit tricky , no direct route really, but to keep trying several configurations in the jumper panel. for my nick , hehehe ... "mushroom"-man ? That works too .. but I thought a more "wholesome" meaning would be "You're Good" ... either way works for me!
