I installed a 2nd dvd drive in my windows vista dell dimensionE520 and I can't get it to work. I have it connected to the sata 3 socket. Now I think that socket has a default of disabled and I have to go to the bios to enable it. but how do I get to the bios is it hit delete as the computer is being restarted? Thanks in advance.

Depends on the Dell. Most Dell's use the delete key to enter the bios. Just hit the delete key as soon as you see the screen.
