This hardrive was in a working unit (WD 800AAJS Sata) And now I get the message no boot device found I have used a new cable and power supply and tested on a Dvd rom, so the connections are good. Hard drive says Master/Slave jumper not required for SATA. Pins 3 and 4 enable power up in Standby. This is an older system, would a different jumper pin setting possibly work and if so what pins?

hope this helps

If you are trying to use the drive in a windows XP system you will need a driver due to the fact its a SATA drive (very few are supported by Win XP) .
You should be able to find a Windows XP driver on the Western Digital website.
At the start of the Windows XP install process you will be asked to press F6 to load SATA drivers.
If my memory serves me right you will need to have the driver on a floppy disk to install them.
This should sort your problem.
