To install your DVD rewrite gather some information from your PC to install it.

After selecting the Hardware Tab and Device manager make a note of the DRIVES you have fitted to your computer and their names. If your computer shows that there are four drives (2-Hard disks and 2 CD/DVD-Rom’s) you will not be able to add any more drives. You will be able to identify the drives from this list when you open the computer case.

The CD drive contains three ports witch is the IDE port, the power port and audio port. CD-ROM is available in either internal or external models.
