did u build the PC yourself? make sure it's got SATA power connections. Although, some devices have both sockets on incase. also, u got a sata cable? they only fit 1 way and you don't have to even mess around with jumpers

if you got all connectors all you need to do then is connect a power lead in and then use a sata cable to your motherboard and then other in your burner. it will automatically pick it up when you boot your pc back up

Were you using any SAT connection previously ? If not, you may have to go into the Bios to set your preferences. On mine, I have the choice of 1 = Sata Only, 2 = Sata + Pata, 3 = Pata only.

If your into burning Xbox 360 games then grab a Pioneer - any model.

If it's just for normal PC stuff then any drive will do these days.
