If you can find the Toshiba model number, the documentation can be found here: http://www.toshiba.com/taissdd/techdocs/pdf_index2.shtml That said, for IDE drives there are 4 possible settings: Unjumpered, Master, Slave, Cable Select. (Often unjumpered drives have a jumper on the pins, but sideways) These sets are *usually* labelled M, S, and C. You want to jumper the M set. It sounds like you have it set to slave or Cable Select, neither of which work. Most drives default to a pseudo Master status if they are unjumpered, menaing they'll behave like a master drive (ie: boot) if no other ide drives are present.
