What else can I help you with?
What do you use to configure a drive to be a master slave or a stand alone drive?
We generally use the jumpers to set the disk drives as master or slave.
How you can make slave or master hard drive?
There are jumpers on the drive itself that can be configured to set it up as a master or a slave. Refer to your hard drive's documentation for the pins to use for these configurations.
How can you set the jumpers on your hard drive?
first Hard drive is Master and additional will be set to slave.
When two drives are connected to the same data cable connected to an IDE channel how does BIOS know which drive controls the channel?
The jumpers on each drive have been set to either Master or Slave, or the drive jumpers have been sent to Cable Select the bios will select the first connector as Master and second connector as Slave
When making a dual boot what do you do about the master and slave jumpers and what if you already have XP on both drives?
Set jumpers both to auto detect. I run XP 32 bit on one and 64 bit on the other.
What is the role of jumper in installation of hard disk?
Jumpers are used with the IDE (aka P-ATA) drives (hard disks or other drives like DVD recorder) . There can be two drives on the same cable with this norm, a master and a slave. The controller of the disk need to know if it is supposed to be the master or the slave. Jumpers are set to this purpose. There is a special mode called "cable select" where the position on the cable determines the mode (disk at the end of the cable is master, disk in the middle of the cable is slave)
What happens when two drives are connected to the same data cable connected to an IDE channel. How does BIOS know which drive controls the channel's?
There are jumpers on the drives that differentiate the master from the slave. If the jumpers aren't set correctly, the BIOS will not recognize them. In addition, some IDE ribbon cables are also labled Drive 0 (or Master) and Drive 1 (or Slave). If the jumpers are set correct, but the drives are plugged into the ribbon cable incorrectly, the computer will not recognize the drives.
Difference between Master and Slave hard Drive?
When connecting to IDE drives (whether they be hard disk drives or optical drives) on the same cable, the computer needs to be able to tell them apart. When using a 40 wire IDE cable, you have to identify one drive as Master and the other as Slave. You do this by positioning the jumpers on the end of the drive according to the diagram on the drive itself. When using an 80 wire cable, set the jumpers on both drives to the 'cable select' position and their Master and Slave classifications will be determined by their position on the cable.
What is meant by master and slave in computer hardware?
It's possible to have two mass storage devices on a single IDE cable. The first device will have it's jumpers set to "Master" and the second device will be set to "Slave". That is only a way FOR THE HARDWARE to differentiate between the two drives.
Can a CD Rom and Hard Drive be on same ribbon cable?
Yes. Just check the jumpers to make sure ones set to master and ones set to slave.
How do you change the slave cylinder out of a 1994 Ford F250 4x4?
i think you have to change the master and the slave cly as i think ther'e one unit
What is the difference between master IDE and slave IDE?
Each IDE slot can handle two drives. One drive will be the master and the other will be the slave depending o the configuration. If the jumpers of one drive is configured to set the drive as MA (Master), the second must be configured to SL (Slave). Both drives may be configured as CS (Cable Select), if so, The positioning on the ribbon cable will determine whic one is the master and which is the slave
