Re: Whcih drive is which on IDE cable?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The master is at the end of the cable, and the slave is in the middle. When replacing the slave, be sure the jumper on the new slave drive is set to slave. After all, you cannot serve two masters.

I have 2 identical (same make, model and size) hard disk drives on my
primary IDE channel - one master and one slave. I think I have worked
out that the C:drive is Disk 0 and the D:drive is disk 1. I want to
replace the D: drive but when I come to open the PC case, how do I
tell which is the D:drive?

I suppose I could determine this by trial and error (50:50 chance) but
I thought there must be a way of getting this right first time.

Thanks
