Default Putting a WD2500JB IDE on my XP PC

I would think then that I have an IDE slave, so I should use 3-4?


If they're both WD branded, one of them would be "Master with Slave"
and the other one would be "Slave". That's when the two drives
are present on the cable.

If initially you had one WD drive, it would have been "Master only".
As it was by itself on the end of the cable. In other words, you have
to change the jumper setting on the first (existing) drive. It
needs to be changed from "Master Only" (no jumpers) to "Master with Slave".
