So, I got a free WD Caviar 20GB EIDE drive and want to intall it as a slave drive in my computer. However, it's got no jumper shunts. I can't get my computer to recognize the drive or even boot up properly without setting the jumper correctly. My primary drive is a WD Caviar 40 GB EIDE.

Where can I get some jumper shunts (I'm in the States)? It seems like Radio Shack would have it, but my local one does not carry them. I tried fashioning a home-made shunt with paper clips and electrical tape but it ain't working out.

Thanks for your help.



I feel the need. . . the need for SPEED! YEEOOWW!
