Look on the part of the drive where the power and data connectors are, you will probably see jumpers or shunts. Look elsewhere on the drive for a diagram of them that explains the positionings
That's easy. There is a label on harddrive that describes what jumper position is for slave, master, cable select... etc... If there is no label, try to set the jumpers to this or that position...try all positions before you get it right (not recommended)
ODD! On the drive, there's a diagram that sais how to position the jumpers/shunts. But there are no jumpers/shunts... M'kay...
This is an old 210 Mb Conner drive. I bought it in Poland this summer and when came home I wanted to see what's on that drive. there was... a Polish version of Ms-Dos 3! lol
lol
OK, the problem is that the picture and the jumpers don't match... It looks pretty much like this:
[:][:]: ::::.
where the two [:] are plastic thingies. The whole thing looks like you colud connect something there.
OK, it worked, but another problem is added: On the disk Ihave MS-DOS 6.2 and win 3.1 installed which shouldn't take to much space... but, there's a file called "386SPART.PAR" which takes up 182 MB! Whata hell?
Lets clear a few things up here, it's not good to set your swapfile to zero. Why? Say you have 16MB, if you run a few programs, you could easily use all that up and Windows can't take any hard drive space and use it as "virtual memory". But if you have a small hard drive, then its alright to lower it.

And what make/model drive is it?

Look on the back of it, that is, the side opposite the one with the connectors on it, that's where I find the jumpers.
Poland, Polish DOS 3... WoW, I'm getting jealous of Europe...

Memory = 386SPART.PAR (Swapfile) + Installed RAM.
