Forum Storage : CD/DVD Drives [Solved] Ide-sata drive not working

Is the drive set to "Master" many of those adapters don't work unless it is set that way.

Check the jumper block at the back of the drive.

Nope, edited my post, it is a set of pins on the back of the drive.

This is not your drive, but should be similar. the jumper needs to be under the MA or MASTER section. In some cases, just removing it will work as well

That is also a common problem people have with IDE-> USB adapters.
