For a computer system that has a single hard drive, what are the corect jumper settings?

A. IDE 0, master
B. IDE 1, master
C. IDE 0, slave
D. IDE 1, slave

Answers:
configuration A
A single drive must be master
It's most likely A. If you have a CD or DVD drive also hooked up, there's a small chance it's B. Try that only if A doesn't work.
are you taking a test or sumthing? lol its A
Actually it doesn't matter as long as the HDD is selected as the boot device somewhere (whether it's set up as Floppy first, cd-rom second, and HDD as third... as long as it's in there somewhere !)
Master is typically the default ( no jumper ) setting, and your IDE cable, whether primary or secondary will access whichever has something connected. I have actually had my CD-rom as Master with HDD as slave on secondary IDE, and worked fine (did a dual boot w/ win2k as primary os on Primary IDE/Master, and a second bootable HDD with Win98 on it, secondary IDE/Slave).
Make sure Bios will auto-detect your HDD, and the boot-up will select the first bootable device in the order selected !
