I hope you get at least the combo DVD/CDRW so you have some other backup device. Remember that just because you have a DVD drive doesn't mean you can play DVD movies. Many discover that later.

HI,
I want to install a dvd drive into my PC. I have a dell dmension 4300 pc and am looking at a cheap dell DVD combo drive (Model GCC-4481B) from eBay.
This pc is my old one and I need the dvd rom to install vista beta.
My question is: is installing a dvd drive pretty much like installing a hard drive ? Are they just 'plug n play' with xp ?
Any advice appreciated.
