Give me an idea about jumper setting of harddisk and CD room how the position of jumper affects?

Answer 1

Jumper settings on most of the disks are explained. Generally the IDE disks we use allows us to have 4 disks. Disks here can be replaced with devices like CD ROM's /RW/ DVD-ROM/DVD-RW's also. Now in all these 4 disks 2 act as masters, 2 as slaves. Further you have the concept of primary and secondary, so you have a primary master, a primary slave, a secondary master and a secondary slave. The detection by the BIOS of the systems and also the booting sequence is decided by this. Primary Master is first preffered followed by secondary master and then comes primary slave and secondary slave. Now when you connect a device to any of the data busses or cables you assign these roles to the disks. The disk you want the system to boot first is given primary master role. Generally it is recommended that you place the hard disk containing your OS to the primary master setting. Next comes the secondary master. This can be your CD ROM or something like that so that if your primary master fails to boot up your CD ROM can be used. Other disks containing data can be put as slaves in the order of primary and secondary. Now the jumper pin can be set to make a disk act as master or slave. There is also a setting to limit your space to 32GB on a 40GB hard disk. This setting is used on older motherboards whose BIOS doesnt support 40GB HDD. So if you have a fairly recent PC you can ignore that.

Different makes of IDE hard disc drives has different jumper configurations. In Samsung the HDD is selected as Master if you choose the first one from the left. The second set of pairs make the drive as Slave, the third pair from left makes the drive to be Cable Select one. For Seagate the first one from left makes the drive Master, if you want to select the drive as Slave then you should not use the jumper, just leave it jumper less. I can't recall the Cable Select option. It is better to follow the instructions printed on the HDD's level to make the jumper configurations.Else you can check on the manufacturers website for details.

Answer 3

u have a jumper then u have an IDE on your motherboard.it all depends on how many harddisks and cd's u have but the most important thing is that u must have a master device on the first IDE. if u have 2 hard disks then one of them must be a master and the second either slave or cable select.
the same is with the second ide that is if u have one cd drive then it is better if u connect it as master if u have two then one must be master and the second either slave or cable select
