How to install iTunes so that it doesn't effect DVD-CD drive drivers on PC

I have a new Dell laptop Inspiron 1525 that I installed the latest version of iTunes on. When I installed iTunes it knocked out my DVD-CD drive. Dell techs helped me to reinstall drivers for my DVD CD drive - which then worked, but, this corrupted iTunes & registry so that CD import and burning drivers were lost. Got a window message upon starting iTunes to this effect and instruction to reinstall iTunes. Reinstalled iTunes and lost my DVD - CD drive again! Dell helped me to get DVD CD drive back again, but I had the same trouble with iTunes again. Does anyone know how I can get my iTunes and my DVD-CD drive to get along?

how about changing the drive letter for the DVD drive? Right click My Computer, goto Manage, then select disk management. change the drive letter there. bear in mind that any programs that would call to the DVD drive will get confused since you changed it's drive letter but you can always point it to the right drive.

How to install itune under Windows XP 64-bit professional with SP2?

I have iPhone 3GS for over a year and I have set it up at my work computer (Windows XP professional) with latest iTune and it work great. Recently our IT has upgraded our system and all of our new machines has Windows XP 64-bit OS.
I can't figure out how to install iTune under Windows XP 64-bit, to synch with my e-mail, contact and calendars any more?
Can any one help?

New machines? With XP 64-bit? Your IT department is being rather foolish, in my opinion, deploying new installations of XP 64 since Microsoft discontinued mainstream support for it (more than two years ago) and it's never really been satisfactory.
Anyway, there is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and almost certainly never will be. If you search the iTunes for Windows forums for "XP 64" you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete. Connecting to iPhones is one of the most problematic issues.
Regards.

How to install iTunes on Win XP 64 Pro?

iTunes is not supported on 64-bit XP. But if you search these forums for something like "XP 64", you'll find a number of threads discussing workarounds that have "forced" iTunes on the 64-bit version of XP, albeit with varying levels of success. For starters, try this thread:

Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8. The apple techs suggestions did not work

Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8. The apple techs suggestions didn't work. Spent most of today installing and uninstalling itunes according to their instructions. They will charge me again if I call again.

When I run the iTunes64setup.exe it says: "The thingy is not a valid win32 application."
That generally indicates that the installer has been getting damaged on the download.
What web browser have you been using for downloading the iTunes64Setup.exe? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

I have a 13gig c drive that is almost full my pc is a 2001 sony vio so windows takes up the most of c, but I also have an 80 gig hardrive I installed itunes on that and I believe I made itunes use the d drive for media storage.

I also have an 80 gig hard drive, so I installed itunes on that,
I think and I think I have itunes pointed to have its library on the as well.
If I had to reinstall itunes because I did it all wrong,would the music I have bought from itunes be retrievable?
What would be the right way to make the itunes install, and all it constituents(i.e.media library) go on the 80gig D drive instead of the C drive?

To get a better idea of what is being stored where download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>. It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
