Cdrom Primary Slave? - Scorpion - 12-18-2009
What's Up?
OK, So recently I revived an old computer, I'm going to use it purley for burning my pirate games (yyaarr!) Now I have yet to install an os on it, First of all I need to be able to boot from disk, And after inserting a new cdrom it has switched the primary slaw drive from the oldone to the new one.
Which isn't want I want, So my question is, how'd I switch the old cdrom back to being the primary slave again?
I heard it's somthing to do with hose jumper lead cables?
Thanks Bye.

There are jumpers at the rear of the cdrom. Set that to slave or Cable select.
I made a thread a while ago which may help you.

I found a slot on the back of the cdrom, But it's not a switch, do I have to plug something into it?
I know I know I'm such an idiot :-(
** sorry for spelling mistakes, the iPhone doesn't have a great keyboard.
**** Got'cha! finally got both of them on with the atati drive as primary slave! Just need some more ram and were in business! Thanks for your help!
