it depends on which drive you want to change....if its just a simple CD ROM drive , open up the casing and remove the cables going to the back of the drive (taking note as to where the little pin cover is so that you can make the necessary changes to the new drive ) you don't wanna take out an old drive that was set to master drive and replace it with drive that has the pins set to slave....that will cause complications later then just hook up the grey cable first and then the power cable...make sure the computer is unplugged through this whole proccess as to avoid electrical shock
