"Kill Disk" killed my disk! :)

Guess that means I won? haha
Just for the record, what did you have to set them to?
Anyhow, glad to see you're up and running

It was easy. I just reversed the flow of the flux capacitor, as suggested by Insomniak.

I didn't bother to change the jumper setting from "slave" when I took the WD out of my old computer. And the Seagate system drive was set to "cable select" out of the box. Maybe with some drives those jumper settings wouldn't matter, but it sure did with these. So I just set both jumper settings to "cable select" and everything checked out fine.

Thanks for the help, guys. I'll probably give Partition Magic a try. Otherwise I can always pick up an OEM drive for a decent price. I don't think I'm going to use Kill Disk again.....

kill disk is exactly what's it for, destroys your hd! buhahahaha!!!

You're an idiot, you told everyone several times that you had checked the jumper settings and that it was all fine. It matters for every HDD; you can't run a slave HDD with master jumper settings. You can generally run both with cable select, but it's always safer to run them with one as master and the other as slave.
