I not sure, can not see. There should be nine pins from what I think. First horizontal are Master, Second Slave and Third Cable select. last single pin ignore. Cable select just decide which come first where the cable plug. (If I remember correct Seagate own Maxtor now, I do have a 40 GB Maxtor Quantum Fireball. I have the PDF file for it.
Say you have a cable with two plugs. one on board and two for drives. The end usually Master and the in-between is Slave. So, you can set the drive at the end as Master and the Drive in the middle as slave. OR, many set as cable select. I not sure it matter, but, may help. My CD/DVD RW and a CD are set to Master/ Slave and in the correct positions on the cable and work great. BUT, They DVD/CD (Asus) and CD (Sony). You may be able to look above the pin select and it tell which pin selection is which, mine do, but, my HDDs are SATA and where they plug on my board decide.
OK, Rolling on the floor drunk and everyone laughing at me. I have a Compaq 5000 the HDD is alone on the cable and the pins are on #2 pins. This a Maxtor 40 GB FireBall.

I'm a little confused on what you have set up. It goes this way. Computer has hard drive. Usually the jumpers are set to master or network, If you add another hard drive, you can not have 2 masters. So, jumpers are used to set the pins to allow the computer to boot from the master hard drive and then see the second one as a slave. Not an OS system. So you can have another drive letter assigned to the second hard drive and copy files between them, but only one is the master Look at the drive you want to be the slave, usually somewhere on there is shows where and what position to put the jumpers on

Master- If it's the dominant drive. Usually the one with the operating system
Slave- Secondary drive.
CSC- Cable Select. use if you don't know what the other drive on the cable is.
