A hint or two about how old, what drive, might be helpful.

One example might be a Caviar 1GB, which had 3 horizontal rows of
jumpers just to the left of the power plug. It's unlikely that you
need the jumper settings for it since it's settings are silkscreened
on the PCB right under the jumpers, but anway, the leftmost pair is
master, the middle slave, and the right is cable select.

Just be sure that the pins you jumper, are jumper pins, not aux. power
pins.
