    Windows should automatically load those for you. Try going into the Bios and see it isn't disabled.

How do i hook up lg/gh22 super multi dvd rewriter to my dell dimension 3100 The cords are not the same

The drive you are installing is a SATA drive. The system came with a PARALLEL ATA or PATA optical drive, The motherboard has a SATA controller and the HDD is a SATA drive. So you need a SATA data cable and connect it to the SATA 1 port on the motherboard. There should be a SATA power connection inside the chassis that is not being used, that you can connect to the drive. Then go to system setup (F2 at boot) enable the SATA 1 controller and disable the PATA controller
