I just got my self a new Dvd writer and i would like to ask if anyone can give me the step to step procedure for installing it on my pc.. Its the first time im installing a drive on my pc so i am begging for a detailed step to step list of what to do... I have Windows XP professional... I have already got a Dvd rom for my man drive and an external cd writer (via USB)

Thanks in advance

PS Some burners seem to work better as Master on an IDE cable as opposed to slave (just ensure jumpers set correctly) I also find yer burner is better used on a different IDE cable to yer ROM

Set the burner as master, and the DVD-ROM as slave- preferrably use an old type 40-wire cable, and not crosstalk enabled 80-wire one... some Atapi devices simply don't like it, and anyway 40-wire can achieve just fine UDMA-2 which is the norm for Atapi devices. 40-wire cables are also nondirectional (you can connect the devices in any order on the two plugs), while 80-wire ones are.
