Replacing DVD/CD Drive

[dutch]

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

According to the description of your setup, yes, it is basically a plug and play deal.

Shouldn't have to change anything in the bios, but you may want to take a look in there if you ever need to boot off of a disk in that drive.
