First partition, don't change anything about the jumpers. If your hard drive is set to master, it will stay master on that partition so it will only make the hard drive as you wish, ''" master or slave ''" ..
Second.. Load the cable at the end of the cable will make master. Here's the deal how to 1 on your motherboard beside the ribbon from your hard drive the plastic cap with some pin in it it 1 say primary beside and 1 say secondary.
Simply open your computer change the hard drive cable from the 1 hard drive to the other 1 hard drive.
1- The easiest way here is to open your case change your ribbon (40 pin) from one hard drive and change it to the other hard drive jumper configuration might be required simple manual easy to configure its a little pin on the back of the hard drive between the power connector and the ribbon tha plastic removable cap
2- If you have 2 hard drive on the same ribbon, those 2 hard drive will be set on the same thing so as primary u will have to get another ribbon plug into your computer board and put one hard drive to that new ribbon and it will make it secondary so the ribbon you have is your primary.
3- I hope you get it about the ribbon. One ribbon is your primary and the other is your secondary dont mess up. There is normally 2 plugs on 1 ribbon. Don't mistake by saying 1 plug is primary and the other is secondary. It's just a master and a slave that's it if you change plug from one hard drive to the other there you can talk jumper but you might need in order to work in your bios to change the startup hard drive on windows and also get to configure jumpers.
ram is primary Jake
usually a second hard drive, flash drive, external hard drive, networked computer, DVD whatever isn't on the primary hard drive
Primary master and secondary master
Primary master and secondary master
If the Hard drive is IDE (40 pins on the back) you would configure the primary hard drive as Master and secondary hard drive as Slave using the jumpers on the back of the hard drive.
RAM
To recover from a hard drive disaster, the first thing you need to do is buy and install new hard drive. Assign this new drive as your "primary" and your original one as your "secondary." However, if the reason your drive has crashed might compromise the safety of your new hard drive, do not create a secondary. If you are able to set up your old drive as a secondary, you can download a data recovery software that fits your computer's specifications in order to try and recover any data that was not backed up.
yes adjust the jumper at the back of the drive. it's a white block. it between the interface connector and power connector. you also want to set it aswell in the bios.
The secondary IDE channel is used to reference the other IDE channel apart from the primary one on a computer mainboard. While the primary IDE channel usually takes the system/first hard disk of the system, the secondary channel usually takes optical drives or the second hard drive.
There are two types of storage devices used with computers: a primary storage device, such as RAM, and a secondary storage device, like a hard drive. Secondary storage can be removable, internal, or external storage.
The secondary IDE channel is used to reference the other IDE channel apart from the primary one on a computer mainboard. While the primary IDE channel usually takes the system/first hard disk of the system, the secondary channel usually takes optical drives or the second hard drive.
