When you install an internal CD or DVD burner, it'll use either an EIDE or SCSI connection. The master/slave jumpers on your new recorder will be set to slave if the drive will share a cable with an existing hard drive. If the drive is the only device connected to your secondary EIDE cable, it should remain set to master. You must move the jumper on the recorder to make that drive work as the slave.

To install an internal EIDE CD or DVD recorder, follow these steps:

1. Turn off your computer, unplug it, and remove its case.

2. Slide the CD drive into the front of your computer.

You need a vacant drive bay, which is an opening where your disk drives normally live. The drive should slide in through the front.

3. Connect the cables.

• Connect the cable between the new drive and the motherboard - it should fit only one way.

• Remember, a CD or DVD drive can coexist with a hard drive (both are EIDE devices), so another connector on the same cable may already be connected to a hard drive.

• Rummage around the tentacles of wires leading from your power supply until you find a spare power connector and plug it into your new drive.

• Connect the thin audio cable from the drive to the tiny CD Input pins marked on your system's sound card.

• Nothing marked CD Input? Try Line Input pins, or a different type of Input pins.

4. Screw the drive in place.

Most drives screw in from the sides, just like a hard drive.

5. Replace your computer's cover, plug the computer in, and turn it on.

When Windows boots up, it should recognize the new drive and automatically install it for you.


hope this will help.

Kahit san pwd mo e connect yan bro, sa dulo o sa gitna na part ng IDE cable. Pro kng isa lng ang ikabit mo, ex ung DVD burner lng mas mbuti kng sa dulo mo nlng ilagay. Tpos e set mo ung jumper sa DVD Burner mo na Master. Kc kng nka master ang DVD Burner mo, mas mabilis xa mag read at write compared kng nka slave xa. Na try ko na yan.

master and slave is not determined by which cable you use. its determined by the jumper settings on the hardware/s. in this case, even if the DVD+RW is all alone on the secondary IDE, you can set it to slave if you want to

as for the power, yes an additional DVD writer will mean more power is needed BUT keep in mind that if you don't use the drive, it wont eat up that much power. it will only eat up HUGE power resources when you are burning. It will eat up more resources than your CD writer

what is the wattage of your PSU? how many other hardware is connected to your pc? you might need to get a higher wattage PSU

there is an illustration on the hardware itself on how to position jumpers. if its the only hardware to be connected to the cable, i suggest you use the master setting
