- Unplug data cable and power cord from back of CD drive
- Remove the 2-4 screws holding CD drive in place and discard
- Insert DVD writer, reapply screws, data cable and power cord
- Close the computer
- Reboot, inserting the DVD-writer's install CD after system detects the new drive
- Install the new drivers
- Reboot again
- Install additional software/utilities that came with new unit (off the CD) if desired
