OK, I have this problem. I goes like this:

I mounted a HDD hoizontally, and plugged in the power cable. I also plugged in a dual 40-pin IDE cable. There were 3 pairs of pins as well, one with MA written by them, one with SL and one with CS. There was a white thing with metal inside over the MA pins and I took it off and pushed it onto the SL pins. The two other ends plugged into my primary drive and the motherboard I turned on my comp and there was a rattling noise so I quickly turned it off, unplugged the power and IDE cable from the HDD and turned it back on, and here I am, very worried about a possibly broken HDD drive.

Anybody help?
