DVD Drive Jumper Settings.

[SiZcO]

Ive searched for it and everything it tells you but i just don't understand.. they say you use needle nose to set the jumper settings but i dont want to tear it up how EXACTLY do you set the jumper settings? i always thought a wire ran from ur mobo to those 3 pins and it set your drive to master or slave.. can someone explain how exactly you set your jumper settings please im lost.

You need a needle nose to hold the jumper, but most people should be able to use their nails and fingers.
Depending on your situation which you need to explain more, I can continue to help you.

I use tweezers or my fingernail to get the jumper in.

It should be clearly marked where master/slave goes.
