[kels]

i recently found out i had to buy a dvd burner because my pc doesn`t do it

model number (GCC448IB)

(FIRMWARE E106)

Anyway bought a dvd burner today to find out i have nothing to plug it into the back of my hard drive, does anybody have any clue on what cables i need.

The dvd burner i bought was a sony dvd/cd rewritable drive
model no AD-5170A.

How many drives are in your tower now?

I Was Told That It Was A Combo Drive And It Only Burns Cds And Reads Dvds, So I Needed To Buy A Dvd Burner. Does That Help? The Ony Thing I Have In The Back Of My Tower Is Mouse And Kebourd And Speakers

What I'm asking is how many DVD/CD drives are in your tower now...drives that you can physically put a CD/DVD into.

Just The One

Print out Steps 3-6 from this link: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6603_7-5118840-1.html

Turn off your PC and unplug from the wall and follow steps 3-6. It is really simple and not nearly as complicated as they make is sound. Once you have the drive installed reboot and check "my computer" to see that the drive is being recognized and post back in this thread.

Thank You , Fingers Crossed Ill Let You No How It Goes

After you've done it once, you should be able to do it with your eyes closed the next time. No big deal...good luck.

I personally think you should remove the top drive and replace with the new dvd burner, adding extra drives just takes more power

I would have the dvd burner as master on the end of the cable
