Hi Kevin,
It's not a switch, it a set of jumpers on the back of the CD
drive. Let me say now that they are not usually easy to
change, even for someone with 20/20 vision. Plus, you also
need to know exactly what you are doing, and what they need
to be set to. Usually it's "Slave", if it's the second unit
on an IDE cable. But sometimes it might be "Cable Select".
Have you anyone sighted who can help?
George.
