How to install a second Cd/Dvd writier

I'm wanting to install a second CD/DVD writer. I slipped in into the slot and plugged in the sata cord. Do I just find an unused plug to plug in the power? It makes sense to me, but I just bought a new computer and don't want to mess it up.
This question was solved.

Hi,
You're basically right so this is just to confirm . Before you start you should ensure all power to the computer has been disconnected and that you ground yourself or wear an antistatic wrist band.
1. Install the CD/DVD drive in a free drive bay
2. Connect a SATA cable to your CD/DVD drive and plug the other end in to the next available SATA connector on your Motherboard.
3. Plug in the power connector (there will probably be a spare one very close to the power connector plugged in to your existing drive).
That is probably all you will have to do and Windows will detect your new drive as soon as you start up. If by any chance it doesn't, you may need to enter your system Bios to enable the new SATA connection.
Hope it goes well.

How to install a second HDD in Stelllite P200D

I want to install a SSD and move my HDD into the slot for the second HDD. I can't find any document how to install the second HDD. Do I need special adapter or any HW to do that?
kind regards Frank

Hi
At the bottom of the unit you can find two HDD bays. Right?
But one of the bays does not contain any connectors? Right?
At the first look this might be a little bit strange but fact is that different Satellite P200/P200D models were available on the market with different motherboards.
Some would support a 2nd HDD but some units dont. But all models supports the same bottom covers and some people think that an 2nd HDD would be possible which is wrong.

How to install adobe photoshop cs3 dvd

How do I install Adobe Photoshop CS3 DVD to my computer windows 7 I put the DVD in and nothing comes up to install it

Hi mvigus,
If the installer doesn't start automatically (you don't see the autoplay screen), navigate to the contents of your disc in Windows Explorer. Double-click the setup.exe file. Ensure that you are logged in as the administrator of your computer. Also, after the installation is complete, run the software with administrator permissions.
Let me know if this helped.
Thanks,
Preran

How to Install OEL5.3 Source DVD from eDelivery

I'm totally new to installing OEL (not using an OBI)
I need to have source code available to install the CISCO VPN (at least that's how I'm interpreting the instructions).
I have downloaded the iso for the source and burned it to a DVD.
When I look at the DVD I see SRPMS folder, EULA, GPL, RP-GPG-KEY and TRANS.TBL
Nothing gives me a clue how to install the souce...
Is it as simple as just copying the rpms to usr\src?
thanks

You just need the "kernel-devel" RPM package from the binary distribution; ignore the source media and ".src.rpm" packages.
# /bin/rpm -Uvh kernel-devel*.rpmYou will need to find the "kernel-devel" RPM on the installation media; use that.

How to install itunes without cd/dvd rom support?

Hi,
Everybody knows when you install iTunes to any windows device, you will have a problem with your dvdrw afterwards. Till day, every installation i made end up with losing my dvd-rom.
There is 3 solution to this problem, but those solutions never worked for me and last time i used my company notebook without it's dvdrom for over a year.
Now, i reinstall my notebook with Windows 8.1 Update 1 and i want to install iTunes for my music but i can' let iTunes do the same thing again.
Is there anyway install iTunes without cd-dvd 3rd party/usb/firmware driver support?
I search on net and i found this link but it's way too old
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44491?viewlocale=en_US

QuickTime is required for iTunes to run. You can think of iTunes as a media manager "front end" to QuickTime which handles the actual playing of the media.
Safari was an optional install when I installed iTunes on my Windows system. I wasn't forced to install Safari. MobileMe is also no longer automatically installed, though it will update if it finds an existing installation. I didn't get it forced on me when I installed on my Vista system.

How to install Aperture without original dvd

I lost my Aperture 2 installation and Aperture 3 upgrade disks. How to install Aperture in my new Macbook ?

Do you still have the Aperture 2 and Aperture 3 registration codes? Then you can download the Trial installer and use that to install Aperture on your new Macbook.
You can download the Aperture 3 trial installer to reinstall Aperture from this webpage - there is a link to the trial and instructions on how to reinstall - don't let the title of this page distract you :
Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
The Aperture 3 serial number will be available in the about panel, when you are running Aperture on your old mac (from the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture).

Who knows how to install small windows on DVD?

Yes, Neihn is quite right about BartPE being a useful Linux self-contained boot up CD that can help troubleshoot. It is a good tool, but if you're not afraid of a screwdriver a computer user would be well-advised to buy an external drive enclosure matching your type of hard drive for your laptop or PC. When things go bad, even Bart may not boot your PC. So slide that drive out and put it in the case and you have an new big USB drive ready to retrieve your data to another machine. Even better is to buy another barebones hard drive the same as your drive so you can immediately switch out and reinstall Windows in the crippled machine and then bring back the data (hopefully) from the enclosure drive. Just remember that external drives (whether you buy one or make one) will die eventually just like any hard drive...typically 3-5 years, although some last longer and some die very soon. The best backup bet is putting your eggs into many baskets, online storage, relatives computers, external drives, and best of all multiple copies of burned DVDs or CDs you create with your data. Put those in a safe place and you will always have them in your lifetime. DVDs supposedly last 100 years, but I won't be around to see if that is true. *;-0

How to install Leopard without working DVD-drive?

I have a MacBook Pro 3,1 (A1226) without a working DVD-drive and I would like to replace the existing 80Gb drive with a 320Gb drive. The hardware is no problem, I did that a few times already, but how to get the OS working?
I have an TimeMachine backup on a USB-disk of the 10.5.8 (9L31a) installed system. I do not wish to upgrade because there is some old licensed software on it that does not work with a newer OS.
I also have another MacBook Pro (with 10.7.5) I could hook up with an Ethernet-cable. Theoretically even with a Firewire cable I do not have right now. But when I buy extra things I should perhaps better get an external hard disk enclosure for the 320Gb?
Please advice.

Am gonna solve it in another way. I will just get a so-called "9.5 mm PATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure" and put the 320Gb drive in that one. Sorry to have distracted you.
