How easy is it to replace a CD drive? I know I could Google for this information, but I'd much rather hear from people who can give me real world advice.
My Philips CDRW drive kicked the bucket. It won't read disks at all. Don't ever buy a Philips CDRW, because they are loud as hell and suck big time.
I have an old generic 52x CD drive residing in my dead computer. As far as I know, it still works. I'd like to transfer it to my non-dead computer.
What is the best way to go about this? Is it easier to uninstall the old drive and install the new (old) one? Or is it easier to just add the drive to whatever is already there?
Can anyone walk me through this procedure?
