Note: The jumper pins on the end of the drive determine master/slave status. Directions are on the drive case. In the future, consider keeping all data on a separate partition from the operating system. That way, if you need to re-install, the data is safe. Even if you upgrade. The XP people say it's unnecessary. If they're only wrong once, you know it'll be you.
PS Try not to touch the exposed circuits and ground yourself by frequently touching the case metal. This is the static season.
