Hey I just bought myself a 2.5inch laptop hard drive to make a small external HDD from as I am fed up of lugging around the full sized one I have now, complete with a hefty power cable.
Its all great until I plug it in and it constantly beeps at me. I am 99% sure this is as its jumpers are set to master i.e. no jumper.
So all I need to do is set it to slave, well thats kind of hard as I was not provided any jumpers and the only jumper I have is for a normal HDD so is too big. The cheapest way to get one is buy 50 and import them from America !
Do you think it is possible to fashion one out of tin foil and tape? (or as you Americans would say "alooominum foil").
Thanks
Jon
