Meredith, the reference is to the jumper(s) on the hard drive, itself. It
may need changed from MASTER to SLAVE.
There may be other associated issues which must be checked or dealt with,
such as BIOS settings, cable connectors, power supplies, potential
proprietary aspects, compatible operating/file systems, boot managers and
overlays.
Please provide the group with some basic information, like:
1. the make and models of the computers in question [the *bad computer* and
the *good test computer*]..
2. the installed operating systems for each.
3. the errors or other which are making you think you have hard drive
difficulties
