Assman15    Posted 28th Feb 2009 12:51am Post 1771 / 2085 If you just want to add the hard drive to an existing computer the setup is pretty simple. You just plug it in and you're nearly done. Windows should detect it automatically and you should be able to format straight from windows. Here's a much more detailed set of instructions. Hope it helps.

Master, slave or cable select. More often than not the jumpers will be set on cable select, so it should work just fine. If that's not the case, the label on the hard drive should explain the jumper positions. Not a hard thing to figure out.

It couldn't hurt to just open them and check that your drive is detected. My YouTube
