First you have to make sure that the type of drive is supported. Many of
the new computers made today have Serial ATA drives not IDE drives. If
the IDE channel usually used for your DVD ROM or CDRW drive is not used
then you can put it on that IDE cable. If your system has IDE for your 0
or primary drive you can move the jumper on drive to slave and add it to
the IDE cable as secondary drive 1. So you have some homework to do.
