[TechAssist] Compact computer 7462, Want to add a hard drive

This computer has a 10 G hard drive. I have a 30 G hard drive from
another Compact that I want to add for data storage. The 10G has several
programs I use in the business. It has Windows 98SE installed.
Several questions. I want to hook it up as a slave, but the jumpers show
only three positions: CS--cable select, DS--Master, and PK--Park. What
do I use?
Also, will I have to format the hard drive to be about to use it, since
it doubtless has an OS on it? The harddrive is a Quantum Fireball 1ct.
These may indeed be simple questions, but I assure you they are over my
head! If I need to format the 30G drive, I don't even know how to do it.
A related question, at least dealing with computers. My wife's computer
was recently worked on and a new O/S Windows 2000 pro installed. I have
a cd/dvd drive and a cd r/w drive. The later was bad. I installed a new
one yesterday. It would play fine, but not record. I found that putting
a prerecorded cd in the top drive would result in no audio. (The display
indicated the cd was playing, but I could hear nothing.) There is no
audio cable connected in the back. Shouldn't there be a cable. the r/w
drive has an audio cable connected.
Please help!
