Hey Tom, Glad i could help,
ok, lets get started.
If I hook it up do I go to my computer and it will be on there?
yes, the hard drive will show up there. if not let me know
Also if I connect to the secondary cable do I have to set it to master or slave?
Yes, yes you do, if there is already a device on the line, make the other device you are checking slave, other then that amke it master.and master plugs into the top most connector on the ide cable.
I assume any of the plug ends from the power supply are all the same, {the ones with 4 wires}
Yes, as ong as they are the proper plug for the device, then you are ok, they are all universal.
One other quick question, I have a CD rom that has the normal plugs and the master, slave jumpers but it also has a second set of jumpers, I forget off hand how they are labaled but above them it says for factory use only, Do you have any idea what that is about?
Tell you the truth, i am not sure either, but if it says factory use only, well stay away, but i would like to know what they ARE labeled if you wouldnt mind posting it. I will chec ka few cd-roms i have at the house when i get home and see if i have the same thing on any of em.
Any more questions, ppost them, id be more then glad to help!!
