Reply:Actually it doesn't matter as long as the HDD is selected as the boot device somewhere (whether it's set up as Floppy first, cd-rom second, and HDD as third... as long as it's in there somewhere !)


Master is typically the default ( no jumper ) setting, and your IDE cable, whether primary or secondary will access whichever has something connected. I have actually had my CD-rom as Master with HDD as slave on secondary IDE, and worked fine (did a dual boot w/ win2k as primary os on Primary IDE/Master, and a second bootable HDD with Win98 on it, secondary IDE/Slave).


Make sure Bios will auto-detect your HDD, and the boot-up will select the first bootable device in the order selected !

Reply:It's most likely A. If you have a CD or DVD drive also hooked up, there's a small chance it's B. Try that only if A doesn't work.
