Subject: Slave HD Not found
From: Jim Cooley  [log in to unmask]
Thank you for all of the responses.  I am sorry I did not state that I set the jumpers on both drives and I placed them with the master at the end of the cable and the slave in the middle.  I will try setting both drives to "cable select".  I did everything according to Seagate's instructions.  I cannot think of anything else.  Help would be appreciated.
