Western Digitals *cannot* be set to Master if there is no slave present. Remove the jumper for "single" operation. Best thing you can do if the cable looks ratty is buy a new 80 wire Ultra ATA cable, connect the colored (usually blue) end to the mobo, connect the drive to the other end (usually black) and jumper the drive CS (cable select).
