Pioneer 106S OEM which jumpers are slave??

As I stated this is an OEM 106S Pioneer. No manual and no indications on the drive where the slave jumpers are located. I think it is the 2nd pair of jumpers (from Left to right). This is where I set the jumpers, however windows XPpro and my BIOS doesn't recognize it as being a slave on the 2nd IDE channel. (I think that's what it's called.)

At one time my 106S DVD-ROM was recognized by my OS and BIOS when it was set to "master" with no CD-RW installed.

I've searched all other the web for this simple answer and can't find it. This is my first attempt at installing a DVD-ROM and CD-RW. I don't know if I set it up wrong or if XPpro is where the problem lies.

Thanks for your help.
 
I went to Pioneers website and pulled a PDF of the back side of the DVD, go here to see the PDF file.

You are right about the 2nd set of pins from L to R being slave.

If you make the DVD slave make sure the jumpers on the CD-RW is set to master.

If you make the DVD master make sure you set the jumpers as slave on the CD-RW.

I wasn't sure in the post when you said

<< At one time my 106S DVD-ROM was recognized by my OS and BIOS when it was set to "master" with no CD-RW installed. >>

that you were trying to get the CD-RW as a slave or tried the DVD all by itself. Maybe I just can't read at this time in the morning 😉

I'm not exactly sure on this part (someone will happily correct me) but you may have to jump into the BIOS and say it to Auto Dectect for the IDE channels. I think I'm wrong, not sure.....
 
There is actually indications of the jumpers settings on the drive itself, it's at the lower part of the sticker label, it's kind of hard to see but it's there.
 
Yes it is on the drive itself. Printed so small that I overlooked it. Well, I've learned to always read the fine print on the drive label. Everything went fine and is recognized as should be in XPpro. Thanks.
