If anyone remembers me from last night, I had a problem with an added on hard drive. I just want to know a few questions about jumpers before I mess with them:
-Will pulling out a jumper and re-inserting it clear the memory of the hard drive it's connected to? Or could it possibly screw it up? Or would it simply clear the BIOS of it?
-How do you reset a jumper? Simply by pulling it out and re-inserting?
-What's a CMos battery, and should I even touch it?
I need to know the risks of messing with jumpers, so either I can wait to take it to a comp expert, or just do it now. Time is a factor and I need to get back to my hard drive.
