    I wasn't aware that there was such a thing as a master or slave port . However , if you have one hard drive , it would be plugged into the ide cable or ribbon and the other end be plugged into the primary ide socket on the motherboard .  Is that what you are inquiring about or are you talking about the jumpers on the rear of the HD which can be set to master , slave or cable select ?

    well sata150 drives dont have jumpers correct? so if on my black boot up screen it lists primary master, primary slave, etc. and my harddrive is installed on primary slave is that a problem?

      It should be set as the primary master and thats assuming you only have one hard drive installed .
