Rick is trying to tell you how to set jumpers and ribbon cable position for
master/slave configuration.
You say DVD is to be slave.
Set jumper on old cdrom as master (usually diagram on drive)
Set (or leave DVD) jumper as slave (verify on diagram)
Put old cdrom in computer as master by connecting it to the end of the
ribbon cable.
This means that the cdrom should set above the dvd in case.
Put DVD in computer connect to other connector on ribbon cable.
Computer should see CD and DVD in BIOS and in Windows.
If not, drive might be bad.
