how do i install my dvd drive? plz plz plz help.?

i tried the usual- go to control panel->install new hardware ->follow the wizard. it didnt work.

my father bought this cd with 400,000 drivers... it didn't help either (or maybe i was doing it wrong).

please tell me what to do.

also i dont have internet connection on that cpu. there's some problem with the modem, i installed it. the computer says its working properly but it wont connect me to the internet. the only problem i think might be the cause is that it doesnt have the microsoft signature. but it was working fine before i reinstalled the windows. if u can guide me with that too then i would be sooooo thankful.

p.s the dvd player is L.G, the driver that the cpu connected to the modem was Agete something and my cpu is Dell.

Update:

the driver is plying cds perfectly but when i install the dvd it says that a dvd decoder is not installed.

Update 2:

i have windows 2007

Your laptop may well be configured to boot from the CD/DVD tension...if there's a disk interior this is bootable, it might desire to be astonishing up your laptop. attempt disabling CD/DVD tension boot on your BIOS (in many cases DEL or F2 at startup). once you put in the DVD tension, you probably did no longer disconnect the no longer hardship-free tension did you? if so, your laptop won't boot until the no longer hardship-free tension is reconnected. to connect the DVD and not hardship-free tension jointly, you the two could set the DVD as Slave, and connect it to the middle connector on the ribbon cable ultimate on your no longer hardship-free tension, or you should use the ribbon cable that got here with the DVD tension and connect it to the secondary IDE connector on your laptop (2 rows of 20 pins). in case you pick the latter, you're able to set the DVD tension to comprehend, and positioned it on the top of the ribbon cable that got here with it. If no ribbon cable got here with it, you will the two could purchase one, or pass with the 1st selection of the two the no longer hardship-free tension, and DVD tension on an identical cable.
