So I have a new hard drive from [Western Digital](http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=198&Language=en) and I’m having trouble setting it up. And I guess I can’t read cause the manual makes as much sense as a drunk bum.

Anyways I already have a master driver and I want to set this new one as the slave, I’m trying to set it up on the same IDE cable but nothing. (I have taken in to account that the black connector is for the master and the gray is for slave) Also this manual says that I should “Jumper” it but it already seems to have come “jumpered” so I’m not really sure whats going on.
