OK, no jumpers should be on that drive to use it as slave then.
One other thing, The original drive that has been used as master,
is it possible it has a 'master with slave' position?
Dave L didn't give details of the original drive.
I've got an older <1GB drive that even has a 'master with non-compliant
ATA slave jumper. I actually had to use this position while connecting
it with a CF adapter on my RiscPC.
So Dave L, I would check the possible jumpering positions on the
original drive as well.
