Ok I don't know what decided to make those stupid little jumper things (on hard drives) black - they need to be ! I mean seriously, I have spent the past few days in complete and total irritation because of a little, black piece of plastic I didn't see!!!!! All for a temporary fix to my "shrinking space" issue. I was so close to taking a hammer to my comp.

I've never added a hard drive to a comp before, I didn't take any classes to learn how, I'm not even a techie!!! A little piece of black plastic. Just make em neon for god sake! Or if there's more than one jumper.... don't make one white and the other black so it blends in!!!!!!

Oh... WOOT WOOT me!!! I added a hard drive to my comp.... I rock! Go me!

Why then didnt you simply ask ?... For me it would have been 3 min tops to show you how to do it... because I already knew that fact about jumpers and Masters/slave issues back in 1985...

Teaches you something, doesn't it ?...


Don't worry.. i still like you.. Watching woman fix a computer, while i'm nipping on a large glass of icecold Dr Pepper, in the mean time occasionally sucking on a joint, can be sooo terribly sexy...

I knew about the jumpers, I looked up the proper jumper settings before I started. It was the fact that one jumper was white (easy to notice) and the other was black with copper and looked like a part of the drive!!!!! It fooled me.

I always get tripped up by the small things. But - I managed to solve all of the issues on my own. So I'm still bad @$$ in my book.

hehe :innocent:

Like: you had to put your video card on a specific slot, two slots away from you audio card, or it wouldn't work... Damn Vesa Local bus system..

Those were the days i could find over 500 commands in dos, that made life a lot easier, and Microsoft didn't even know they existed, when i asked them...

God bless DOS, the real good old days.....
