You should get a disk spec/instruction sheet in the package; just look up the jumper settings. You do have the two drives on the same controller, right? In that big case you shouldn't have to dismount anything.

The above quoted from Spot's post

I do not recall getting any documentation with the OEM drives I purchased from a local supplier (Fry's). The drive came in a metal bag and they supplied a floppy with some drive utilities.

Hopefully the drive manufacturer also put the pertinent data on the drive itself. Some of my SCSI drives have a sticker on the drive itself indicating jumper positions..genius level concept.

Also...from my conservative side... you can note the harddrive settings in the bios before you make the change.

Edit, I should read more carefully..Spots mentioned this already
