Two Maxtor hard drives - Master 6Y080L0 and Slave 6K040L0 Jumper set as Master for the 80 and no jumper for the 40. These are the identical settings shown printed on both drives. I beleive the cable/ribbon is an 80 and it is connected to the Blue No.1 IDE socket on the ASRock Motherboard. Cable/ribbon connected - end to the Master (80) and middle to the Slave (40). This is recognised by the system BIOS etc and drives work correctly. Have also tested connection using jumpers for Cable Select which works equally correctly. Norton System Works however announces on Boot Up "Protection Attention - Access Denied Drive F:"

CS means Cable Select .Parallel data cable have two conectors.If you set jumper set on CS ,in this way ,example,you have two HDD when you plug parallel data cable in middle connector ,1 Hard drive working like Master ,2 HDD work like slave,if you plug in last connector First HDD working like slave,second HDD Master.

To use the WD 800 as a master there must be no jumper attached to it.The maxtor has a diagram for the jumper and it MUST be set to slave not cable select.

if you want to boot from this drive, please set the jumper to the master position.

if this drive is for additional storage, please set the jumper to slave. and make sure 1st hard drive is set to master.

if this is the only drive in the system, please set the jumper to single or remove the jumper.

there will be a chart telling you which pins are for which setting in the jumper area, which is between the data plug and the power plug on the back of your HDD.

main thing that will cause drives to not work is 2 jumpers on the same cable and they both are set to the same thng.. i.e. master/master or slave/slave. also, if one is set to single drive it will likely bypass the slave drive.

Here you go mate :)

here is a poster of Maxtors jumper settings for each kind of drive.

For use as slave there is no jumper connected. (Master on/slave off0

Select the maxtor HDD as master by setting the Jumper to the extreme left of the hdd; i.e. next to the data cable.
Remove all jumpers from the other HDD which you want to put as slave.

usualy its just one jumper if no jumper on maxtors becomes slave. jumper on 50 is master. if u use cable select.. on same ide another device must also be cable select.
if one is master other is slave on same ide.

hi frined

remove your hard disk jumper & u r hard will be slave

If you have you primary HDD set on Cable select, and the secondary HDD is set on anything other then Cable select (with the jumper settings on the back of the HDD) then there will be an error.. Also, if you primary is set to master/slave and the same for the secondary, it will cause problems.

Another thought, if one of your drives is SATA and the other IDE, if the IDE is set to master, there may be an issue as SATA HDD's will try to post as the master drive
