With this easy to follow guide, a few minutes of your time and the required components, you can install your own CDRW or DVD drive and be burning your own movies and music before you know it.

  3. Ur instructions omitted the hook up for the audio from the drive to the sound board.
    I could not find installation instructions for a laptop.  Do u have one?  I have a Compaq 2560US.
    Thanks, & Aloha.

  4. Good day, I am not sure if this is any different than installing a DVD/CDRW drive is the same on a laptop.  I was wondering if you could give some direction on installing an internal DVD drive?  That would be GREAT!!!

  6. A GREAT ARTICLE, I ONLY WISH I HAD READ IT BEFORE I STARTED TO REPLACE MY DVD DRIVE.  I DIDN’T MOVE THE JUMPER PLUG TO THE SLAVE POSITION, AND AS A RESULT IT DIDN’T RECOGNIZE THE DRIVE AND THE COMPUTER WAS EXTREMELY SLOW AND THE MOUSE MOVED ERRATICALLY.  ANYWAY, I CORRECTED THE JUMPER PLUG TO THE SLAVE POSITION AND ALL THE PROBLEMS DISAPPEARED AND THE DRIVE WORKS GREAT. I FINALLY FIGURED IT ALL OUT BY MYSELF, BUT HAD I KNOWN OF THIS INFORMATION, I WOULD HAVE SAVED SEVERAL HOURS OF FOOLING AROUND WITH IT, AND A LOT OF MOMENTS OF CONFUSION AND UNCERTAINITY.  THANKS FOR A WELL RECEIVED INSTRUCTION.
