Most motherboards have two IDE ports and each port supports up to two IDE drives, letting you install a maximum of four. Heat can always be a problem and you'll want to be sure your system has enough power but based on the specs you show, you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right click my computer and click properties. The system properties window opens, click the Hardware tab and then click device manager. The Device Manager Window opens, from the top view, make sure a dot is next to view devices by type. Click the + next to DVD/CD-Rom Drives, post what it reads? Then try this link here. It works for version 9 also.. cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
