From original post............The slave drive is coming up as requires
formatting.
"When you added the drive did you jumper the original drive as Master and
the added drive as Slave? If not, do so and report back with the results."
My drives are set as follows.
Master (Western digital 40GB WD400)
** Jumper
**
**
**
**
Slave (Maxtor Diamond max plus 9 80GB)
**
*
**
** (tried jumper here, no change)
**
It states on slave hardrive no jumper=slave, tried this and no change, still
requires formatting.
For info the slave hardrive is from my old machine and should have info on
it (not urgent info)
My basic problem is trying to get the slave to work without formatting so I
can double check the info before I delete it, I want to use the slave as a
back up drive.
I am not 100% sure I understand how to set the jumpers.
Any help appreciated.
