Normally brakes on a vehicle.
We generally use the jumpers to set the disk drives as master or slave.
Master and Slave configuration is necessary for motherboard in order to choose right disk to boot from.
SATA and IDE are operated on different buses, with different controllers. A SATA drive is not considered a "master" or a "slave"; it has a channel all to itself. If the IDE drive is by itself on the controller, it should be set as Master.
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)
master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.
master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.
The "master/slave" designation is necessary for the disk controller. It has little to do with the dual boot.
By default the computer boots the XP installation on the Master hard disk. If you need to access the slave system change slave to master.
Drive controllers are certain cricuits that control drives like the hard disk
if u have winxp on the master hd, just boot ur computer from a 98boot disk and install win98 on the slave. the computer should automatically configure itself for dual boot.
When there is only one hard drive (disk) in the computer, the jumper(s) on the back of the disk (next to the power socket) should be set to Master or Stand Alone. When there are two disks, one must be designed Master & the other Slave or the system will not boot or only one disk will be seen.
No, he was a slave who escaped from his master.
