Set the jumper as slave on the back of the drive...

Hook it up to an IDE ribbon cable and a 4 pin Molex power connector...


MBoard============================Slave======Master.

When you re-boot the first time enter Setup ( the BIOS ) to see if the drive is recognised...if so re-boot.
Is there an OS installed on this drive ? ?
