DVD-Rom install

[+ST0RM 145]

I got a used Samsung SM-348 CD-RW/DVD combo from a buddy. I'm going to install it on my comp (Win XP), but have a few questions. He didn't give me any disks with drivers, but I read that since Win 95, the OS already has native drivers for this. Or am I reading it incorrectly and will need something else? I'm grabbing the 1.41 firmware from softpedia. Are these correct?

 

Moving into new territory, so thanks in advance!

if u are going to install the used combo cd/dvd it should not be a problem make sure everyting is plug in correct and when u start up check my computer winxp with detect it without any software needed. but if u have another cdrom/dvd drive make sure u understand the jumper rules. on back on the drive their should be 4 parts-audiocable,datcable,power, and jumper.

Thanks for the help. I'm simply swapping one for one, so the jumper settings won't be an issue. I've done several H/D installs, so that was familiar. Ok, so I'll go and install it and see if Windows will need extra drivers. If so, I've got some downloaded. Just wanted to get another eyes on, so to speak, as backup to make sure I wasn't missing something.

 

Thanks!
