The Logic Off Topic list

Hello everyone!! First let me apologize for this possibly to OT for the OT list post. I'm trying to install a second hard drive in my internet computer (actually it's a removable tray so I can use this computer to back up our DAW tracks. I installed the removable tray and pulled the drive from our studio p.c. and put it in the tray. When I booted up the system it didn't notice anything...O.K. I thought I must have to tweak something in CMOS. Nothing I do seems to make it notice my drive. Why? The motherboard is a MSI 6163. The CMOS set-up is not very helpful either. I wish it was as straight forward as the ASUS board I have. I had a problem installing other things on this MSI board (I couldn't figure it out). I took it to a place and he got it working. I have no idea what he did to get it working. Any ideas? Everything in CMOS is set to auto. Auto works for the cdrom and 1st hard drive. Why not this one?  Thanks!!

You may have to make some jumper settings on the back of your first 
harddrive. Some drives can be configured to be either master, slave 
or "only drive" via these jumpers - I know this to be true for the WD 
harddrives I've had. Check out the documentation on your first HD to 
find out.

Right, and the second drive will need to be jumpered as a slave drive.

    Hi,
        My first hard drive is a Western Digital Caviar. I don't have any documentation for that drive as it was given to me by a friend for our second computer. Is this info on the drive itself? Thanks!!
