look at the rear of the drive and next to the ide connector you will see some jumpers,
the lable on the top of the drive will show a picture of how to place the jumpers |

If the drive is going on a 40 wire IDE cable, set the jumper to either master or slave (most times it doesn't matter, but some CD-RW's like to be master)...position on the cable doesn't matter.  Cricket
