Set it to keep data.

Clear Data is only to reset your CMOS configuration settings.

ok thx for the reply i just make sure im doin everything right

heres a pic what im talkin about

[filipino]

the best way of doing it is reading the motherboard manual, you can never go wrong with that

Hehe

I believe that MSI usually ships their motherboards with jumpers in place. In other words, it should already be set to keep data. If it is not, move it.

ight cool its on keep data so basically i just connect everything it should be workin right

one more thing before i install it, is it ok if i connect hard driver (set as master) with cd-rom (set as master also) on the same cable ?

[TechKnickle]

No

On same cable, set Hard drive to master and set Cd-Rom drive to slave.

If both master, they wont detect.

NO!
They either have to be on a different IDE channel/cable or you would have to set them to master and slave or cable select (I recommend cable select )
