okay thanks guys but how do i change it from master to slave???
The hard disk which has your OS has to be master.. other hdd or cd drives should be secondary.
Boot it a couple of times, if your drives are on cable select, it will automatically detect them. I can’t tell you which drive is master and which is slave without looking at your settings inside your machine.
what was the original issue……..if this is a desktop you change the master/slave setting by changing a pin on the back of the piece of hardware………like this
