What type of hard drive do you have to set a master and slave jumper for?

Some IDE drives have a master/slave jumper, but a significant number of IDE drives defaulted to a "cable select" setting where the drive would determine for itself whether it was the master or the slave by which of the two sockets on the cable it was plugged into.

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.
