Mount the drives in the carrier connect the 40-pin cable to the drives set the drive at the end of the cable to master set the drive in the middle of the cable to slave install the drives in the computer and configure the drives
If you have an existing hard drive and want to install a second hard drive and you want to keep the first drive bootable as the bootable drive how should you configure the second hard drive?
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.
What are the four possible configurations for a PATA drive installed in a system?
Primary Master Primary Slave Secondary Master Secondary Slave Primary or Secondary will depend on which cable are you using to connect the drive. Master or Slave will depend on the drive's jumper configuration.
If you are installing a second hard drive into a computer will it still work if you can't change the jumper to slave?
That would depend on certain variables, such as whether you were putting it on the same cable as the other drive. In IDE, you must have a Master drive on each channel. The second drive must be set to Slave. You were not clear in which drive you could not change the jumper. Assuming the drive in the computer is alone on the cable, it is set to Master, so your new drive must be either set to Slave and be placed on the same cable, or set as Master and placed on another cable.
When you install a SCSI drive should it be set to a master or to 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.
What does a slave drive do?
On the older style ATA drives, now called PATA or simply IDE, each drive chain had two positions for drives. One was called the Master, and the other the Slave drive. The drives performed in exactly the same manner, and the only difference most people would notice was that the Master drive was given a drive letter before the slave drive. In short, a Slave drive does everything a Master drive does.
When installing an IDE hard drive's configuration a master or slave is handled?
the hard drive should be set to master...
