If by "''work''" a CD-ROM you mean '''read''' it, You need: * a CD-ROM drive, either an internal drive (IDE or EIDE, goes inside the computer), or USB drive (external, goes outside the computer). * driver software, which either your computer will automatically install, or will be provided with the CD-ROM drive that you purchase. If by "''work''" a CD-ROM you mean '''write''' it, You need: * a CD-R or CD-RW drive (which is capable or writing or ''burning'' CD-R disks or CD-RW disks) * driver software (see above) * blank media (a stack of blank CD-R or CD-RW disks) * CD-writer software, like Nero (http://ww2.nero.com/us/index.html) or something else--often, this software comes with your CD-writer.
