Frequently asked questions

How can I prevent electrostatic discharge when installing the drive?

Touch an unpainted metal part (e.g., a heating pipe or an unpainted part of the computer case) before handling the drive.

What master/slave setting should I use for the new DVD‑Rewriter?

Set the new drive to MASTER, or attach it as SLAVE to the second IDE cable if that configuration is required.
