    Most modern OSes will recognise it, I'd imagine.

    You might need something like Nero to assist in burning CDs though.

    Installing CD writer is easy enough just leave the settings as you found them on the writer unit (ie slave/master setting), connect the power cable, conncet the IDE cable, connect the little sound cable to your sound card, oh and tighten the screws! Then fire up the PC, it should recognise the new hardware straight-off. If not then just find the driver disk and go the "add new hardware" route.

    Then watch as your PC explodes into flames and dies ;)

    Only joking, it's really easy to do.
