HDD only post in BIOS as slave, jumpers were set to CS and I set them up for master then I put the HDD in another machine and it still only post as a slave. Any ideas?

ok here is the thing some bios will and are set to use the ide cable as it was design to be used. meaning master at the end and slave in the middle. also depending on the setting for the other hdd some will have a setting for master (single hdd) or master with slave check these setting and make sure you are placing the hdd on the correct part of the ide cable. CS will be override by a jumper setting, especially if u have 2 hadd on the cable. also check your ide cable make sure there are no damages from pulling on it
