Hi,

does anybody know how the hard disk jumper should be set? I demounted it and put into my friend's PC (to do backup of some TV programs). But he changed the position of the jumper (to set the HDD up as a slave) and we forgot the original one. When I returned this Samsung HD to my Panny, it fails the boot sequence - SELF CHECK ends with one od these messages: "Error occured - press Enter ... etc." or "Change the disc ....". I have tried all vertical positions but the error remains. Maybe there is some special horizontal one.

It is easy to discover if you have the E85: under the cover (5 screws) just unbend the HDD (3 screws) and pick it up to see the jumper area. It is left from the power supply socket: [::::]

There is no restraints like protection labels.

So be brave and look at it, please.

Any other recommendations are welcome.

If he allowed the OS to write a "disk signature" on it, the E85 will not accept it without reformatting.


But, it sounds like you don't have it connected correctly.


I've used it with drives as masters.

He is 100% sure about write-protected connection of Panny's HDD. Master setting is my idea too. I'm afraid the problem is somewhere else.
