The 40 conductor is only for Cable Select. You need the 80 conductor for Master/Slave. It's the way it's wired.
I have a problem setting up two drives as one master and one as slave on the primary interface connector on the motherboard.
the drives are jumpered correctly the problem is only the master is seen in bios.If i unplug the master the slave only is seen.I don't understand this because i had these drives working before with this setup.I disconnected the slave to hook up to another computer and when i reconneted back up i now have this problem I decided to hook it up as a slave on the secondry Ide connecter master being cd writer and slave being the second hard drive and both drives are seen.I can't use this arrangement without getting a longer ide cable as my 80 way cable is too short.There must be a logical explanation Any sugestions would be most appreaciated
