[Request] Help with Master-Slave HDD

[Blane]

My cousin has an hdd right now which is not even SATA.It's connected to the his computer.He intends to get a new drive which should be SATA II.Now he wanna format of course the system, but we have to configure the 2 drives as master and slave.

 

Does anybody knows something more about this issue, cause I'm kinda newbie on this.  ;D

at the back of the HDD you have a usually 7 or 8 pin connection with a jumper on it above that theres description which poisition is master and slave
