WINXP, ASUS A7V PC 133 MB, and Pin settings for IBM/Hitachi Harddrive?

[Karl]

I got an Hitachi Deskstar back froma failed IBM deskstar, 80 GB but the PIN setting on the back is very confusing

I want to put this drive in the Secondary Ultra ATA 100 IDE connector.

In the Primary Ultra ATA 100 IDE connector I have already 2 other harddrives, 1 being thew Master, the other Slave.

I assume the IBM/Hitachi should be Master, am I right?

But I need to know the PIN setting, because the illustration is extremeley confusing.

You need to tell us more because we are now even more
confused.

Hopfully you are not putting this on the secondary with a CDrom drive. Have you tried the web site for a diagram.

If you have a CDROM connected to the secondary IDE port, set the CDROM jumper to "slave" and set the Hard drive to "master" even if you don't have a CDROM.
