Hi,
Do i have to set the jumper,because i thought it should detect without the jumper.The IDE cable is connected to the secondary IDE on the mother board.

Sorry for the long response time but we are very busy and sometimes miss a reply.
If there is any other drive attached on the IDE cable then the two drives must be set with jumpers
One has to be master ( Which is usually the one on the end of the ribbon)
One has to be set for Slave ( Usually the one in the middle connection on the ribbon)

sorry...kind of lost track of you there......with the IDE hard drive...if you've got it on the secondary IDE channel (was it on the primary before? why'd you move it?) i'd jumper it as slave...

Hi,
Sorry for the delay.As of now i'm not using any ide hard drives.i'm using a new sata drive which is connected to sata port and is working fine.The problem is when i connect the ide hard disk,(ie.. i can connect it in primary or secondary with no jumper settings it doesnt matter right)because OS and other files are loaded on SATA HD.All i want is for the computer to detect the IDE HD when i connect,but that i not happening.So i hope now this tells you what the problem is clearlly.Waitng for your reply.

Have you tried to slave the drive in another system to check it?
As you stated you were getting BSOD's with it prior to replacing it.
There may be physical damage to the drive.
If bios does not even detect the drive and you are sure it is connected correctly, then the drive is most likely dead.
As far as jumper settings or not.
Some drives do have a setting for single master and require a jumper.
Some do not have this requirement.
Ide ribbon placement on a single drive is always at the end of the ribbon
This is the same if there were two drives and the master drive is always at the end of the drive.
