My brother managed to grab a Western Digital 180GB Hard Drive from work (amongst a few other top class gooides) however even though he builds and works with PC's almost every day we have hit a problem. The systems he works on at work do not operate under 98 SE and all of his clients PC's run on different OS'. We have been through all of the jumper settings on the hard drive as my current Packard Bell 15GB HD doesn't actually specify which jumper settings to run the drive from.
We have through all of the jumper settings as well as plugging it through a direct route by taking out my DVD drive. Still no luck what so ever.
If anyone could help me with this I would be grateful because as it stands it looks like a dead loss. If it wasn't for me being a total willy and buying a Packard Bell in the first place (was 6-7 years a go though) then I wouldn't be hitting these problems.
Cheers in advance.

Your best bet is to remove the 15GB one and just try the 180 on its own. Obviously you'll have to install an operating system onto it.
They are both set to master as it is but Windows won't detect the drive. The only other thing would be to go through the Bios and try to get it detected through there.
Is the drive formatted?
Set it to master aswell.
