How to Install and configure a DVD rewrite drive

This is a hardware installation it requires you to open the base unit. Once you have disconnected the power from the computer and opened the case, then first the power and IDE connector cables are to be removed from the CD ROM drive. The CD Drive will then be taken out either by a lever or if it is screwed onto the case depending on what type on case it is. Once removed and replaced with the DVD Re writer Drive then reconnect cables previously removed from CD Drive and close the case when that's done. Now reconnect the power and boot up the computer.



The above image shows the DVD rewrite in the my computer section, As you can see there is a CD RW in the drive which data has been written to the disc to test the newly installed DVD Re writer drive. There is a great advantage of having a DVD rewrite this is because DVD are used media disc format for movies and games which you can now play using the new DVD drive installed.
