Dual boot & master/slave

I'm trying to install a new Western Digital 160 gig hard drive. The
old harddrive is SAMSUNG SV1533D. It was originally part of a
dual-boot ocnfiguration. Then the other disk crashed, and the
computer refused to boot from the Samsung. I took the computer to a
shop. They recovered my data, removed the bad HD, and they said "the
Samsung can be the master."
Did they change the jumper settings on the Samsung? I don't know.
This was 6 months ago and I'm sure the tech doesn't remember.
My installation guide says to set the new HD jumpers to be the Primary
controller / Slave Drive. I did this.
My installation guide says to make sure the Samsung's jumpers are set
to Primary Controller / Master with Slave.
How do I find out what the Samsung's jumper settings are? I don't
have a manual. I went online, but the only Samsung info was not
specific to this Samsung SV1553D, did not relate to the SV-series, and
was written in Janglish. I could not understand it.
1. If I'm going to have a dual-boot configuration, does it really
matter?
2. If it matters, I'll want the new WESTERN DIGITAL to be the master,
and make the Samsung the slave.
3. How do I do this?
4. What do I do next?
