I did remove the existing DVD-ROM drive that was originally installed because I had a zip drive installed below it. It was just the easiest thing to do. From what I recall, the drive was configured as master as well as the Pioneer DVD-R I put in so I didn?t have to touch a jumper. You can now purchase the DVR-104 as well as the original DVR-103. http://shopper.cnet.com/shopping/search/results/1,10214,0-1257,00.html?tag=b ot&qt=Pioneer+DVD Good luck shopping!
