Hello,
It appears my DVD/CD drive has bit the dust, at least it will not recognize any CD but will play a movie DVD. This drive is an IDE.
Thinking about replacing it with a SATA DVD/CD drive as they are now less expensive then IDE drives.
My MB has an extra SATA connection available, the other one is used by the SATA HDD.
Question: can I do this replacement and is it essentially a "plug and play" in the set-up?
Does anything need to changed in the BIOS?
MB: MSI K8MM-V
OS: Windows 2000Pro w/SP4
Any direction is appreciated.
Thank you
