Comcast didn't give me the computer. It was originally built in CA by Cyberpower, but when it overheated right before I bought the hard drive from you, I had a new motherboard put in locally and they gave me a really detailed user manual. So I doubt I'll have trouble resetting the BIOS, I just couldn't get past the step asking for a password. My sister sent me this info last night:

So later today I will reboot and if it still asks for a password, I will try one of the listed ones till I get in.
Do you think all I have to do is set BIOS to auto detect IDE Master and Slave, and then when I reboot with both hard drives installed properly, it will find them with no problems, and that could have been it all along and not how I had them jumpered?
ABout the jumper settings, the drive said it could have one or two jumpers on it, and the way you had it set was correct for the 2 jumper position. I can see the words written on the circuit board side, and there are 2 prongs on the left with nothing written by them, so I don't know what they are used for. The middle set is Master, then Slave, and the far right is CS.
