Windows 10: Possibly fried HDD with wrong jumper pin selection help needed please

I think that I may have inserted the jumper pins in my Seagate Barracuda 500gb IDE in the wrong position.
Should the jumper pins be in cable select or master?
On the written guide label it shows cable select AND master on slave off
The DVD is on its own ribbon cable going into it's own IDE port on the motherboard IDE 2
The HDD shows on the motherboard as IDE 1
With me possibly inserting pins in the wrong order will I have fried the HDD.
If so what do you recommend as recovery software and which pin order should it be
The are only two ribbon cables DVD & HDD.
I look forward to your comments
Kind regards
Tony

Additional HDD

sata or IDE? im banking IDE.

pull both jumpers off. both drives.

plug the IDE cable in like so. it goes a certain way.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''Short
L----------L----L <Ribbon
I...............I......I
Mobo.........2.....1
...............(Slave)..(Master)

connect 120GB HDD no jumper onto the connector of the short side of the cable (1 master).

connect 160GB HDD no jumper to 2 slave.

make sure mobo end is seated correctly. power is in. boot board.

go into bios set HDD 120GB as primary boot device. then go into the HDD list and make sure the 120GB is at the top of the list.

make sure AHCI/IDE are set appropriately for your board. especially if a bios reset has happened.

if this does not work. put jumpers on both HDD's on the CS pins (cable select pins are marked on the plastic, the pcb or a sticker showing you which 2 pins are M, S, CS)

then repeat steps as necessary.
