ok, hahaha, upon taking out my hdd to hook up the slave, that ima try to use to install xp 64 bit in case mine DOES die, if the jumper was put in wrong, as in horizontally, insted of vertically, would that cause read errors in the HDD? because the DUMB ASS i payed friggan 185 to put my comp together put the jumper in sideways ... so it was like ::_: insted of ::|:: would that screw up hwo my hdd reads, and cause it to mess up and make clickin noises and such?
