OK right sorry let's forget the link i posted then :P

Well there is usually a label on the back of the drive indicating the master/slave etc settings and all you do is put the plastic bit onto master pin.

Get back to me - sorry for unclarity...

Ok so CSm sounds like Cable select, SLA is slave so 54321 must be your master jumper - put the plastic plug thing on that one
and then make sure you connect the master IDE cable connector



get back to me :)

Ok so for example this is your mobo



The Master IDE cable goes in the IDE connector. And the power one (the smaller one) goes in the four pin socet on your drive and the appropriate fitting place on your motherbaord.


get back to me :)

Ok a little info about your drive. Apprently it wont read DVD+R or +rw disks only -r/-rw. That might be a thing to consider - i read that here for your own satisfaction...

Your drive supports:
DVD-ROM single layer/dual layer
DVD-R (all types)
DVD-RW
CD-ROM Mode 1
CD-ROM XA Mode 2 (form 1, form 2)
CD-TEXT
Photo CD (single & multiple session)

Here is the latest firmware for your drive that you want to upgrade to
