I just know what I have read. I'm fairly sure the drive
needs to be set as a slave with a jumper, you'll need to
check the label on the drive and see the maker's web site
for the details. Windows XP disk management should allow
you to format the drive once the disk shows. Yes, if the
cable you have supports auto termination, you don't need to
do it again.

that in its BIOS.
