Plugged it in, screwed it down, and it worked perfectly. No hitches, problems, or aggravation. Great little unit that does everything but burn DVDs and works fast too (48x24x48). By the way, I looked around extensively and Amazaon has the best deal on this...

well the drive works fine, but you might face some problems installing it on windows ME (or 98 may be). its not because of the device drivers but because of ME itself... ME is a little buggy in this regard.. i had to upgrade on XP.. and on XP its like plug n play. the drive is pretty fast and burns a 80 min disc in 2 - 2.5 mins... i think it gives a satisfactory performance for the price u pay and its a good deal.

I am running XP Pro and the installation went smoothly without any problems. I dropped in "The Matrix" to test the DVD playing capabilities and I was pleasantly surpised. The movie ran as smooth as my standalone DVD player. I can now play a DVD using my computer without a decoder card.
