I bought a cheap replacement for my dying system drive, in my old PC.
New drive is refurbished WD1600AWS. (SATA)
But before I start tinkering: I can't find any informatio about the
master/slave settings?

Got the feeling I'm a little behind with new developments...

That's probably because SATA drives don't have master/slave settings.
Only one drive plugs into each connector.

The tone of the post suggests that the dying drive might be IDE??
If so, my experience is that you can't just swap in a SATA in a windows
system.
I've had good luck with sysprep IDE, backup, change to SATA,
format SATA, restore.
There may be SATA modes in the BIOS that need to be reviewed before you
format the SATA drive.



The dying drive is SATA (specs below)
I have IDE drives in the PC and also SATA drive.
At the moment I gave cloned the sick SATA drive to the other IDE drive
teporarily wirg Macrium Reflect. Bootibg is slow of course.
