Switching IDE Master and Slave HDD's

My computer has 2 HDD's, one Primary IDE Master, and one Primary IDE Slave. What i'm trying to do is switch which HDD the computer recognizes as the Master and which is recognized at the Slave. The problem I'm having is that when I opened up the computer, the Master drives jumper was set to "Master", but the Slave drives jumper was set to Cable set. What would I do to make the Master HDD the Slave and the Slave HDD the Master (i.e. where would I set the jumpers, which IDE's would I use, etc)?
