Except those hard drives that had a picture of the jumper positions on the sticker, and it's not clear which end is pin 1, so you have to play around with it until it works.

Is it not working cause the jumper is in the right spot? Is the drive bad? Is a BIOS setting not right? Is that kink in the cable a problem?

Never had those problems myself, I found the instructions pretty clear. It was labeled near the pins so hard to miss.
