HD clone - which jumper?

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I have problems with cloning my system-HD becaus I do not know, which jumper the HDs need.

My system-HD is No 0 and the new HD ist No 1. I Think that my system is the master and the new HD is the slave?

After the cloning the HD No 1 should take the place of my old No 0. I think it is necessary to change it to a master-HD?

Does it work in this way?

My first attempt did not work. The clone did not start as system-HD.

Thanks for help

Hello joeis,

Thank you for your post. I will definitely assist you with your question.

First of all I would recommend the following most reliable cloning guide, please make sure you have your Acronis bootable CD ready.

Then to set the jumpers you can check either this or this guide.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.

Thanks for your help,

the cloning did work now. Perhaps it would be good, if there is a hint in the helpfile about this item of setting the jumpers in EIDE-HDs.

Thanks
