make sure you have the jumper in their position(master or slave). then connect the IDE cable to the motherboard ,then the other extreme to the cd driver ... connected to the electric cables ... and voila you're all set.\nJust to let you know the jumpers are the most important part of the cd driver .... Jumper is a small pin that between the IDE connectors and the electricity connector. make sure to put it in the right positions

It should be USB so if you are using Windows XP it will automatically install the correct drivers. If you have any other O/S you will need to use the driver CD that came with the drive.

Yes, you need a drive that can write cd's if you want to put information on them. A regular CD/DVD-rom drive won't do that.

Usually, CD and DVD drives are plug-and-play. If you're using a modern version of Windows, just install the device and start the computer. Windows will find and install the new hardware drivers.

You need something like Dameon Tools that virtualizes the ISO to a CD drive.

Introduction:\n\nThere are thee different parts to a hard disk installation. You need to physically install the disk, tell the computer it has a new hard disk and finally configure the disk to work with your operating system. All of these points will be covered in detail. \n\nSetting the jumpers:\n\nOkay, so you need to get inside your PC, unscrew the screws that are holding the thing together. These are normally found around the edges of the back of the case. The number of screws can range from 2 to 6 screws, and all of them need to be out to gain access to your base unit. \n\nOnce inside, you will see a heap of cables and a lot of circuit boards, now don’t be scared, you can do this!\n\nRight, we need to prepare the hard disk. Take it out of any packaging it may have, and look carefully at the label on top. There should be a section on this label concerning jumper settings, these are very important. If you are installing the new hard disk and removing the old one, you can ignore this setting. However, if you are adding the new hard disk to the existing one, you need to change the jumper settings to slave. The jumper is a small piece of plastic with 2 metal contacts inside to connect two pins together. It is usually located next to the IDE and power cable connectors on one side of the hard disk. It will be set to Master as default, you need to look at the label on the top side of the hard disk and find out where you need to place the jumper to set it to slave mode.\n\nIDE Channels:\n\nOkay, lets talk IDE channels. This is where it can get a little complicated. There is a ribbon cable plugged into the back of your original hard disk. There should be one other connector on the cable, this may already be connected to your CD Rom drive/DVD drive or CD Writer. If not, just plug in the spare ide connector and away we go. Move onto section 2.\n\nOkay, so, if you’ve got a CD Rom drive/DVD drive or CD Writer, we need to utilise the other IDE connector on the motherboard. You should have had another IDE cable supplied with your CD rom drive. This will plug in on the motherboard directly above/below where your first IDE cable is located. It will only go in one way, so be careful as there are pins involved that if broken will render your computer useless. Once connected, we need to decide where we want to put things. \n\nFor CD rom drives, I would place the CD rom drive on the second IDE channel (set as master) and the extra hard disk set as slave (see above) on the first IDE channel. I will write another guide about choosing the best IDE channels for your peripherals later.\n\nBios Settings:\nOkay, so now you’ve physically connected your drive, its time to tell the bios that we have a new hard disk. You need to enter the bios (basic input output setup) when you boot up your computer, this is usually done by pressing del, F1 or F2 when prompted, around the time when the system is checking RAM. \n\nOnce in, you will be greeted with the familiar blue screen. Most motherboards have an IDE autodetection option, you need to select this by using the arrow keys and selecting with the enter key. \n\nThen you need to select autodetect and select your drive as and when it finds it. \n\nThen, save settings and exit the bios.\n\nPreparing the disk for use:\n\nOkay, now to configure the hard disk. The easiest way to do this is to use FDISK (fixed disk utility) You need to drop into dos mode for this, once there, type FDISK and press enter. \n\nYou will have a menu. At the top of the menu, it will say current fixed disk 1 or something, you need to change to fixed disk 2 – just select change disk and select your new drive (should be fixed disk 2). Now, just to double check, we need to select display partition information, there should be nothing there. If there are partitions defined, you have selected the wrong hard disk. \n\nNow, you need to make a new primary dos partition, select this option from the menu, it will ask if you want to make it

depending on what version of windows you are running, you should have a plug & play system. try uninstalling the drive and restarting the puter. let windows install the drive by itself.

The answer is really nothing if the hard drive fails completely.  Best solution is to call the manufacture and order the CD's it may cost you $30 but it is well worth it.  You can also clone the drive over to another drive but this would require some computer knowledge on what to do.
