ok, screw this slow as hell parallel zip drive, that was a mistake when i bought it *rams head into wall at stupidity*

Im getting a new system and want to swap this HD in it to transfer my downloads and what not. i know i'll have to set this one as a slave when i put it in, not a problem there, i shouldnt have a problem with it cause both drives have win98 on them should i?

hard drives arent my area, as simply as it may or may not be


grrr, 4 sets of jumpers on this one, set on the far left 2 right now, what makes it slave? the next two over? HELP!

go to the brands website and find your drive for jumper info. yes if you set it as a slave on ide 1 or master on ide2 you will be fine. doesn't matter what os is on it.
