There was a time when Dell was always "Cable Select" for the jumpers. Can't
say now though. Worth a shot.

I am attempting to cannabalize an old machine and move a 200GB master and a
200GB slave from it to this DELL and am experiencing challenges. Upon
attempted boot up, the 8200 flashes a blue screen error for only a sec (too
brief to read) & then moves to the screen of boot up choices - recommending
the "Last Known Good Configuration". When I try that, it will not boot up
but cycles back through in a loop. IDE cable works fine with old 124GB HDD I
am removing. Jumpers on new drives are set correctly. New drives are in
correct position (master at end, slave in 2nd) on cable. Flashed BIOS to A09
(no other upgrades available). BIOS recognizes them by name and capacity
(shows both at 200GB). Running XP Pro svc pack 3. What am I missing? Any
input is very welcome. Thanks to all!
