CD - RW - Installing.

[nowthen]

Can someone point me towards a simple to understand explanation of how to fit my CD-RW.

I want it in as the secondary drive as my other drive is a DVD drive an I wanna keep that.

I've got an IDE cable but thats all, do I not need any others?

I've had the CD RW drive gatherin dust on me shelf for 4 months now, an I've decided its time I tackled it!

Thanks

Lee.

In simple terms, open up the case and find the IDE cable going to the DVD drive, If this has a spare connector on it plug it into that but make sure you set the jumpers on the DVD to master and the CDR to slave (should be a sticker on each drive showing you the settings)
If there aint a spare connector use your other IDE cable and plug it into the M Board in the slot next to the other one.
Either way will work.

you usually get instructions in the box that the drive comes in
