I pulled the seagate 2.5"

Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc.

When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin.

Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper

The most common way that most of us know on how to reset or clear the BIOS password is to physically remove the power from the computer by disconnecting the power plug and then removing a battery for 30 minutes from the motherboard. Another way is to reset the clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard itself. Both of the 2 methods mentioned works because most motherboards use a battery to sustain the BIOS/CMOS settings for the motherboards PROM chip. So by cutting off the battery power, the BIOS/CMOS settings will be erased.

Hope this helps

No just plug it in to the extra plug on the board.

at ATA hard drive there is no master or slave, if you want to make it master connect it at ATA slot 1 at mother board, and if you want to make slave connect it at ATA 2 at motherboard
i hope this helpfull

Hello

Ok, you ill be able to see the jumper configuration on the hard drive itself. Here is an example on what the jumper diagram will look like on a hard drive.


Now, all you need to do is to have a look on your hard dive and see where you need to place the jumper for the slave configuration. Here is what a jumper looks like.



After you have done this, you only need to plug the hard drive into your pc.

Hope this can be of help.

Kind regards

you can install even if it is a slave disk. also you can try setting the jumpers to master mode, check the sides of the hdd, it has a jumper setting and set it to master, using the shorting pin, just plug it out and connect it to the right setting

You can make it slave with jumper settings check in back side of harddrive you can see jumper which is connected to 2 pin of harddrive.
Read instruction on harddrive you can read how to set jumper for make it slave.
Then you ca use it as slave.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.

Hi,

In first HDD put the jumper in first vertical pair of pins from power socket side, it will become master and second HDD put jumper in second vertical pair of pins from power socket side it will become slave.

if y0our going to slave one hardrive you need to set that hardrive jumper into slave format....check your hardisk if where pin should it e placed...usually there is a direction where to set the jumper for slaving the hardrive.

Does it really shut down the computer by itself? Do you have an Operating System installed on it? The only thing I could think of is that the drive has something faulty on the PCB of the drive that is shorted or causing it to sink too much current and that shuts off your power supply. I've never heard of this though or come across it in real life.
