Default IBM HDD 15 or 16 head???

Garage sale computer had hardrive disconnected .. the hard drive is IBM
DPTA, it has jumpers for 15 or 16 head... what would be the standard or
prefered head configuration.
I have tried to jumpered for 15 and 16 and it shows up on the the screen
but when i go to access it i get "device is not functioning". Since i
tried both settings would a bad drive be suspected?
It spins up and clicks several times on start up...
thanks guys
