I guess I could have at least told you why you don't have to bother
with jumper settings on the SATA drive. The reason you have jumper
settings on a IDE drive is because there can be two drives on one IDE
cable, the SATA on the other hand is a single drive connected to a
cable. There is no option for a second SATA drive on that little red
cable.
