I have 2 ide hard-drive i want to use for storage and im unsure how to set the jumper.I tried a few option and only one drive shows.Both drive are seagate barracuda 120gb and 400gb and will be running on the same ide cable.So what would be the appropriate way to set the jumper?

ddp the drive is formatted and partitioned

gurnard the drive set to master is at the end of the ribbon which is the dvd drive and the 120gb is set on slave on the second connector, the 400gb is on sata1 through a ide/sata converter and the 250gb is on sata0 no converter

pcrepair the drive show as active in device manager,i dont know if it matters but the file system shows as raw not ntfs


i just put the drive in my external enclosure set on cable select and i was allowed to reformat,did so and the drive now works again.using the ide/sata converter should i set the drive on cable select master or slave ?

.using the ide/sata converter
from this statement the drive is a sata drive...so therefore has no jumper
