HI, I have desktop computer pentium 4, SATA, HD doesn't have jumper, I have two drives, I put one jumper at slave the other on cable select. I can not use any of drives, BIOS shows HD at IDE fourth IDE and first drive at primary slave.
drives work and has no problem. any suggestions?
thanks
 
What are the two drives that are jumpered slave and cable select? Are they on the same cable?
the IDE cable are attached to a DVD drive and DVD writer, one slave one CS, the SATA cable goes to HD does not have junper choice

thanks, it's fixed
 
If you're going to be using IDE, don't use cable select when you've got the other drive set up differently. Either use them both as cable select, or set them each according to their assignments on the cable. (end of the cable is usually master, middle connector is usually slave) I have never used cable select, too many problems over the years.
