New "D" drive -- WD Caviar

I have a Packard-Bell 486 machine on which I am installing a
second hard
drive. The machine has the Phoenix BIOS v1.01, and uses DOS
5.0 and Windows 3.1.

The "C" drive is an IBM hard drive with a capacity
of 1215 MB. The Ontrack
v7.09 Disk Manager software is installed on it to allow the
use of a hard
drive greater than ~528 MB. At present the jumpers on that
drive are set to
"cable select".

The hard drive I am trying to fit to this machine as
"D" is a Western
Digital Caviar 14300. The Wester Digital Part Number is
AC14300-00RTT1.

The new drive has jumper settings for SLAVE, NASTER and
SINGLE, but so far
as I can tell, none for "cable select."

At present, the BIOS does not recognize the existence of the
new drive.

My questions:

  1) How do I set this new drive for "cable
select"?
  2) Will wrong BIOS settings caues the drive's existence to
not be recognized?

Thanks,

Kurt

The drive is a 6-pin jumper block drive.  For CS, jumper
pins 1&2 of 
J8; leave other jumpers off.

Not usually--the drive should at least be able to identify
itself to 
the BIOS.
