jumper settings on HDD

[Relztrah]

I'm taking the HDD out of my old computer and putting it into my new computer as a slave. There are 3 different jumper configurations on the HDD case. (Never seen that before!) One says UPPER 32 GB, another LOWER 32 GB and a third 32 GB CLIP. Obviously I want it as a slave on the same IDE cable as my main (master) HDD that is already in my new machine. But I have no idea which of these three jumper configurations I should use.

Thanks,

Does this look like the back of your hard drive Link (http://www.harddriveupgrade.com/jumper_pins.shtml) ? (may differ with makers)

Connect it to the middle of the main IDE cable as the drive is now, reboot and check the BIOS has found it and check My Computer show it also.

Thanks Jiggy. Apparently that "32 GB clip" setting is for and older OS that doesn't handle a HDD larger than 32 GB. Regardless, I set it to standard slave (for this Samsung HDD that's no jumpers) and it's working fine.

One question: My master is NTFS and the old HDD that I successfully installed as a slave is FAT32. Is this a problem? It seems to be fine but then I've only had it running for an hour or so...I haven't really finished my "test drive" so to speak. (I'm writing this from my wife's computer.) I may be transferring files between the two HDDs and I'm not familiar with file systems or any possible conflict. Are the different file systems on my drives going to give me grief?

Thanks again,

Any Nt based version of Windows is fine..it can read/write to both FAT and NTFS. 9x (including ME) can't read/write to NTFS without extra support. So, no, there will be not problem mixing the two.
