    Its really fairly easy. Dont mess about with slave and master jumpers. Just make both harddrives cable select. The harddrive that u want to be master goes right at the end of the ide cable. The slave goes in the middle, thats about it :).

    Master and slave jumpers are pretty easy to figure out. There is diagrams on every hard drive to say where you should put the jumpers on the pins. Just make sure you have your primary hard drive set to master w/ slave and secondary to slave

    No way, i find it much les hassle to just put them both on cable select and then put them on the right ide channel. Easiest way.
