ok you set the jumper on the slave. this is what you have inside her PC. 1 primary channel 1 secondary channel primary has a grey ribbon cable with something on it. seconday may or may not have things on it. tell us what is on what, and we will tell you how to throw it in. also, your bios may have to be set to auto detect another HD.

Do not connect 2 HDDs to the same cable/channel...the 2nd HDD should be on the 2ndary channel as slave Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 512MB PC3200 Asus Ti4800SE 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro
