All that I've used tell you to set it to master or cable select. None tell me to set it to slave.

I have an internal desktop HW cd-writer I've been using externaly on a IBM Laptop via a USB to IDE cable.
After swopping it for an external HD a few times the cd-writer now intalls intself with the Yellow exclamation mark on Mass storage device in DM.
Other USB (A drive, printer) devices install properly with the same port.
