If I remembered correct, this is your 2nd message to ask same question. As
someone already answered before, you cannot use this old drive on standard IDE
controller. These two look same (both 40pin), but they are totally different

drive, marked 0, 1, 2, 3 (old creative standard), and no such "master" or
"slave" jumpers around.
