OK, so I've BIOSed and FDISKed and FORMATted, and now I'm ready to trek over to the Internet Cafe next with my Win'2K CD and HDD and IDE adapter gizmo. But I'm still not 100% about hooking up the laptop HDD to the desktop PC. I've found pin 1 on the HDD; everything is numbered on the adapter; and I think I know what I'm looking for on the IDE ribbon cable and inside the desktop... but I don't know how many cables are going to connect the HDD to the desktop - one (IDE ribbon?) or two (IDE ribbon plus a power cable?) or what? I'm really keen to make sure I don't fry my new HDD! Here's the info from the drive itself - hope my explanation makes sense - any clarification on this next step would be very much appreciated - TIA ---------- I'm looking at my new L110CT HDD - a 30GB Fujitsu MHN2300AT. It's lying on my desk with the label up and the circuit board down (ie the opposite way to which it goes in the Libretto) I'm looking straight at the end with the pins; there are four grouped to the right, and another 44 in two rows of 22 (actually 43, there's one "missing" from the middle of the top row) to the left. I thought the four on the right were power, but now I think they are jumper pins. One of the labels on the HDD comprises a set of three diagrams captioned <JUMPER> where each diagram is of 6 pins, two on the left (which I'm sure denote the two pins from the far right of the block of 44/43) then a small gap and four more pins arranged in a square (which I'm sure represent the four grouped as a square to the right hand edge of the drive). Diagram 1:- - sub-caption is "DEVICE0" - the four pins on the right are shown individually - the upper right pin of the block of 44/43 is labelled PIN1 Diagram 2:- - sub-caption is "DEVICE1" - the four pins on the right are shown with the two on the far right connected Diagram 3:- - sub-caption is "CABLE SEL." - the four pins on the right are shown with the two at the bottom connected ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
