    If i want to put my burner in a external enclosure USB 2.0 where should my jumpers be Master / or Slave. Inside of the enclosure theres a sticker that says:

    The external sub system can operate with Master IDE drive only.
    Please set the IDE drive to Master mode before you connect the IDE drive.

    I always thought that you had to set it to Slave since I already have a Master drive in my PC. I geuss its different when using USB 2.0.
    I have always put my drives as Slave when using enlosures with no problems I wonder why this particular enclosure is different. \
    Its kind of confusing but if anybody has any advice on what i should do.
    Please Reply.
    Thanks in advance to all that do reply

    in USB enclosures the jumpers have to be set to Master, regardless of how many enclosures you have.

    Yep, listen to Creaky! I have 4 drives (one internal, 2 USB, and one firewire) all set to master!
