Is that all I have to do? So I'll just have to move the power(P2) and the long flat cable(don't know the name) to the new drive, right? Oh, and what's the normal size of a cd-rw drive?

I also forgot, what are audio connectors and jumpers? My cd-rw drive doesn't have anything connected to those.

Should be justthat simple, only thing to watch out for are the jumpers, most drives will shipped as 'slave', and most drives installed when delivered are set to 'Cable select'
Just change the jumper on teh new drive to match the old one will ensure trouble free installation.

Yes, but make sure the jumper settings are the same as well (jumper is that little cube inside the pins on the back of the cd drive) and use the same cable location.

All you really need to do is just undo your old one and reconnect the new one to the same connectors. usually the new ones are ready to just be connected but if not just make it the same way as your old one and you shouldn't have any problems. the audio part is just if you have a internal speaker which most new comp.'s don't use any more. Above all else you should only need to pull out your old one and connect your new one and be on your way.
