i have 98. i know when i installed it on my last computer, and tried to install the software that came with it, the computer was dead for months. its a phillips cd-rw drive, and it was a compac computer. this computer that im using now, which is my parents is a HP. So i can leave the old drive in and just make the new one the primary and the other the slave? or do i have that backwards?



The only way the computer could have died, is if you bumped another piece of hardware out of place. Such as memory (which is very close to the CD drives, usually), video card, power connection, or any other key piece of hardware. Or bumping the part killed it, but rarely will ever happen.
