I want to install a philips cd/dvd drive Model #sdvd6004/11 in my desktop. I have a AMD sempron 2400+. It already has a cdrom drive installed(standard type,AOPEN CRW5232/aao Pro) should I replace the one on my computer or "piggyback" the philips onto my computer? Bearing in mind I dom't have the install disk or any connectors for the Philips,except the ones that were in the desktop I salvaged it out of(a Dell Dimension 4600C) I am using my computer mainly to burn audio CD's of concerts I and a group of friends taped in our younger days. I use NERO software for the editing and burnig and I recently purchased an upgrade disc from NERO but it is on a DVD and I cannot install it. Is it worth the bother of cracking open my computer to install the Philips drive? So far my total investment is pretty small,and I don't want to end up spending large chunks of cash on this,but I do have time to burn as I was laid off of my job as a tool & die machinist awhile ago. Any input would be appreciated! Thank you for your time in advance. You would think I would know more about this computer stuff having grown up in Sunnyvale Ca. the literal center of Silicon valley! Oh well.take care regards, PS I am running Windows XP home w/service pak3(ver. 5.1)

As long as they are the same size and fitting, you can just swap them round

SOURCE: DVD-Rom drive doesn't work.

go to "My Computer" and right-click the icon representing the drive, then select "Eject." If that works, you know your drive is OK.

SOURCE: Need to install CD/DVD drive on my compaq computer 2003

to install a CD drive to the computer, you should physically insert the CD drive to the computer. then connect the power from power source inside to the computer and IDE cable came from the mother board connection.

Its a plug and play device so don't need to install anything jut the CD Rom itself to the computer.

Look for the proper place on where to put the CD drive to the computer.

How do I restore factory settings on my AMD 64 processor 3400 .I have windows XP but at the moment my optical drive will not read CDROM program discs only DVD's.

Unfortunately you will have to buy an external cd/dvd drive simply because windows xp has no built in recovery partitions you will need the recovery cds to perform a factory recovery.

Why did DVD player in computer start to buzz during playback of a DVD?

That can happen when a DVD/CD is out of balance or not inserted properly, then again, some cheaper drives just do that occasionally.

The pc wont let me burn the imesh tunes on to cd.it says error.how would i know if i have a re-writer

if the cd has been written to already, you cannot write on it again. If the cd says CD +/- R, then it is not rewritable, look for a CD that says +/- RW. If it doesn't say either of those, a regular cd looks light grey, while a rewritable is usually a lot darker.
