Greetings, I am waiting for the arrival of my CDRW drive, which I am going to install in my Dell computer to replace the LG CD-ROM (one of the "affected" models for 9.2).You don't mention what make of writer you have coming.
I am dual-booting Mandrake 9.1 with Windows on this box, and I would like to ask what is the best way for me to proceed to install this drive?
I have enough space for only one CD drive in my case, so I will be removing my CD-ROM, and installing the CDRW.
Will HardDrake detect the drive on boot, and install the right driver?
Also, I would appreciate some advice on CD burning software for Mandrake that is good and easy to use.
TIA for any help on this. Best regards.

Have you installed one before.
Use the same ide line the rom used.
Configure it master(take special care of the diagram on the drive to do this)
Then boot up
l think it will probably work as a rom drive on the old /ect/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf entries,
but after that you need to do some reconfiguring to get the writer optimised for use by the system so best to post your current entries and work from there.
Worry about the writer software later after your've got the writer set up correctly as a device the system can use.
