OK, if the OD is at the end of the cable it should be jumpered as Master, the HD in the middle of the cable jumpered as Slave.

It should also work with both drives jumpered as Cable Select if that's supported by the cable and the motherboard port. In that case the master/slave selection is made automatically.

But you've got to look for little notations by the jumper pins to see which pins are used for the different settings.

thats a 3-4H 1-2O jumperring and does not take me any further,its a bios setting now,take my word for it.

F5ing · May 31, 2012

If the info in that WD document that Greg linked to is correct for your older WD hard drive, to set the HD to Cable Select you would jump pins 1 & 2, to set as Slave you would jump pins 3 & 4.

You should see small notations on the drive itself, usually near the pins, to indicate the different options provided by the jumper pins.

I've got an old 2004 3.5" WD 80 GB drive laying around. The pins match the doc Greg posted, the notations for the pin setup are written on the label on the top of the drive and again on the circuit board on the bottom, just below the pins.

tried all combos mentioned,bios does not detect second drive and optical.need specific guidance to reinstall both.we are way off thread title,if this would happen to boot disk,well,we wouldnt be even able to "talk" now...

Reset BIOS to defaults then try plugging back in the HD and HD, check controller settings. Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS

Do you have a BIOS update?

i do not have an update,can try cmos clearing or default (should disks be connected while clearing/resetting ?) but my main concerne is this,will it affect my OS disk?I have spent hours of configurations and hacks and tweaks on this,i really cant start all over from scratch

gregrocker · Jun 1, 2012

Make sure you get the SATA controller setting the same.

Why was it necessary to spend hours tweaking and hacking your OS disk? This sounds unusual. Tweaking and hacking almost always lead to problems we see here every day.

proudtobegreek · Jun 1, 2012

gregrocker,u r still here,this means to me that you are trying to help and THAT means a lot.But i d like to have specific instructions like:disks on or off,if on,which one or two,IDE cable positions(end/middle),which disk goes where,jumpers where on optical and IDE.And an answer to the question:will BIOS clearing/resetting **** up my OS?

gregrocker · Jun 1, 2012

I would not have recommended resetting your BIOS to defaults if it would mess up Win7. I've probably recommended it ten thousand times here. Just take note of the SATA controller setting.

I am not a hardware expert but will ask for more of them to help you.

Fair enough,please guide me through that SATA controller.

Near your BIOS storage listings should be controller settings, normally offering AHCI, IDE, SATA, RAID, etc.

We recommend trying AHCI first for install, however you would want to set it back to what it was after resetting BIOS to defaults so that Win7 will start. So take note of what the setting is.

In your case with the split Intel/J. Micron controller mess I would wait for a hardware expert to proceed.

Did BIOS reset,connected OD at the end of IDE cable jumpered as master,connected second HD in the middle jumpered as slave.Have detection but not any drives.Where are the settings offering AHCI, IDE, SATA, RAID, etc.?

gregrocker · Jun 3, 2012

They should in the Storage section of BIOS, near where the HD's are recognized. Have you read your Manual? It should be available on the Support Downloads webpage for your mobo model.

The BIOS, and a JMicron section can be found at Hoppy's MSI MB manual link. Post #27: http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/231479-removing-press-any-key-continue.html#post1943449
I believe the BIOS settings are in section 3.1, and JMicron follows in the next section near the back of the manual.

I have been interested because I have a JMicron Controller in our Machine.

proudtobegreek · Jun 4, 2012

Tried almost anything,read the manual,cant do it,i just cant do it.this is embarassing,cant install a drive.

Have you cleared the BIOS?

Are you booting okay from the Hitachi SATA HD like you originally were?

In your manual for the Jmicron contoller there's this statement:

Be sure to set RAID mode for the Onboard JMB361 Mode of Integrated Peripherals in BIOS before configuring the JMicron BIOS utility. After that press F10 to save the configuration and exit. During boot up (POST), press CTRL+J to enter the JMicorn BIOS RAID utility.

What are the settings for the items in your BIOS, "Integrated Peripherals", "On-Chip ATA Devices" menu? According to the manual you should have these items to select from:

IDE HDD Block Mode
PCI IDE BusMaster
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE
IDE\RAID Control

proudtobegreek · Jun 4, 2012

BIOS cleared via JBAT1 jumper
booting fine to OS on Hitachi

where can i set RAID mode for the Onboard JMB361 Mode of Integrated Peripherals in BIOS?I am not using SATA1 slot,whats with that JMicron controller?(forgive my ignorrance).I can hear the second IDE drive start spinning but gives up after a sec.OD powers up(opens-closes).Faulty IDE cable?I dont have another cable or another machine to test cable or disk.Its a damned setting issue...

F5ing · Jun 4, 2012

Does booting still pause on that screenshot you previously posted?

What are the selections available for the last item on your last BIOS screenshot (IDE\RAID Control)?

gregrocker · Jun 4, 2012

What other options are available besides Auto for the IDE Primary/Secondary you're using? Maybe if you chose the actual device it would skip the menu screen.

Screen pauses stating "detect drives done,no any drives found" and boots.
Options are "IDE-RAID-Disabled"
