jumper settings are even more specific than that, they are specific to that 
model and serial number dreive. however, if the question was "do most all ide 
drives have a setting for master and slave or cable select" I can say from 
experiance that all but the oldest ide drives do, and the older ones just do 
not have cable select as a setting. is the BIOS set to regognize the drive? 
or is this an scsi drive?
