How to make hard drive as slave

[skinsnpunx@hotmail.co.uk]

I have just purchased a sata hard drive and want to make it a slave in
my pc, which is running on windows xp home. Where must the jumpers be
placed to do this. A pic would be handy. Thanks

This is neither and Xp or a hardware group so your post is mis-placed.

At any rate...you configure your SATA settings in the bios,
so as long as the bios is configured to boot from the drive you have XP
installed on...there is nothing else you have to do
other than simply connect your new drive and enable your SATA channel

Jumper settings of any recent hard drive should be available at the hard
drive manufacturer's website.

You probably have 2 SATA ports on the motherboard. One being SATA0 and the
other SATA1. There should be a bios setting to enable SATA, and one
sequential setting to set as master or slave for SATA. You won't see it
take effect until you save the bios setting and reboot.

XP may or may not have a default driver for your SATA controller. Enable
the SATA controller first in the bios, then check device manager/hardware to
see it XP implemented the SATA controller. If so, continue by connecting
the SATA hard drive. If no SATA controller is available in XP, you need a
driver for it. Go the the XP hardware group for help regarding any further
help.

What's a SATA drive?
I only use IDE or EIDE drives.
Just curious!
