Sorry if it's a stupid question (and sorry for posting in this part of the forum but I couldnt really find anything that related closer than the CD/DVD thread) but I've been asked to install 3 zip drives to 3 different computers and the guy who asked needs 200mb zip drives but I can only find them with a fast delivery (next day is pretty-much needed) at Amazon and those are 250mb drives. Oh and by the way the need to be internal.

Basically I was born when zip drives started to die so I've never installed one. So would a 250mb drive read 200mb floppys? I'm guessing they will but I don't want to buy what I dont need.

Also, are they easy to fit? If someone could provide me with maybe a diagram from somewhere just so I have some guide to what I'm doing i'd be greatful.
Also I'm fitting a DVD writer....which I've never done so if someone could find me a guide there too that would be brilliant.

Many thanks!

Hello and welcome to PC Help Forum,

Sorry it took so long to answer your post I was out.

Ok Zip Drives/CD/DVD drives are easy enough to fit internaly.They are usaly just 2 cables as in power and an IDE lead.However were more than one DVD/CD drive is fitted then you must set one as master and one as slave.

I will get you some links and post them for you.
