When you connect the NIT cable, it connects the two pins together, meaning that you do effectively have the jumper connected. Hence needing to remove the pins so the NIT cable is unable to connect them together
Well done to you all...having only a limited knowledge of IT I don't understand a word of your posts except its working on Forum Power which is the best thing.
What I want to know. Is how they **** you figured this out!! About the master and slave being the opposite way round on the OEM drive??

Good work guys.You sir are a genius. Happy days it is now working so both me and Moz now know the fix. It boots quicker than it ever has!
This forum rocks, Ferrers next time we meet you are having a pint.
What we need now is someone with the latest sat nav loaded so we can share!
Moz
Late resurrection of the thread.
We do have 'latest' satnav images, all of 'em, and loaded into mine and with others too.
My NIT hasn't exhibited bootstrap cycling since summer last year after a long drive, until that is, just below Beaune on the way to Orange, she started to cycle, reset, reboot, logo, satnav page, GPS satellite status page, grey out, and reboot. Lasted about 15 minutes. Dunno whether temperature related, probably as it was hot last year when it happened, or tired bearings that get fed up after spinning on a journey in excess of three hours continuous as it was last year.
In any event, I'd have a go with this conversion to SSD, I've probably even an old PATA disc sitting somewhere, or cluge an old laptop.
However, although the thread was successful I'm concerned wrt to cocking something up.:-
1. The ribbon looks pretty delicate, and tracks easily broken, I'd hate that
2. I'd rather SSD it, but I'd really need advice on what to get.
3. I do recall the master/slave jumper gotcha, I'm old enough to be caught out on this ages ago.
4. I've a two year extended RAC warrantee, had load done on the car, but haven't bothered claiming. Perhaps I just ask Dicks to replace but can't recall the single item claim limit, but do recall that it was enough to cover variator failure.
Should I be brave and have a go? I'd need some explicit help.
What think?
