How to make raptor a master?

[Travis18]

In the jumpers, its set at this.

Its a WD 36gb Raptor, And I'm using a serial ata hard drive right now, which has NO jumpers in it, So What would I do? Take the jumper out of the raptor and put it on the other drive? Or what? Thanks

SATA dosn't use jumpers... Move it to the first slot on your mobo (depending on which one you have) then it will by default be selected as master within the Bios.

there are no slaves or masters on SATA, this is because there is only one drive per channel as opposed to IDE which has two drives per channel, hence master/slave.

alright, but the drive is already connected when I load my computer and it boot froms my other hard drive (which isnt sata)

you have to go into the BIOS and change the boot priority...it hink in Intergrated Perephials....
or, if you look at the bottom of the screen when you first boot up, there might be a button to press that says "change boot order" or something along those lines.

yeah its called hard disk, but i got 2 drives.

You change the first boot device to the one you want to use.
