Install and configure a DVD rewrite drive
To install a DVD rewrite drive first you need to locate a blank drive bay. Most computers come with many drive bays and you need an empty one for your DVD drive. To locate a DVD drive you need to remove the case by unscrewing and sliding the case to its order. For installing a DVD drive which supposes to be located under the CD drive and above the Floppy drive, you need to check if any jumpers need to be adjusted. Jumpers are tiny connectors which connect adjacent pins. They jump between the pins. You need to start configuring the jumpers on your DVD rewrite drive. The way to do this is to check the drive manual and see which settings are correct. In a computer, there are two IDE channels called Primary and Secondary. You can configure the drive to be a master drive on the secondary channel or to the hard disk on the primary channel. Next you need to insert and secure the drive. For that there will be screws on the side of the drive as you slot it in. Close them tightly to the drive in the drive bay. In the end you will need to connect the two cables. One is the power cable and the other is the IDE cable. Connect these cables into the device correctly to use the DVD rewrite drive.
