yes just open your pc case unplug power and motherboard cable you might have to take a couple screws out that hold your cd writer in and buy new one -i would get dvd burner as they cost about the same and burn dvd and cd's and re install -your done.

For a CD burner you just disconnect the ide cable and the power cable and plug the new drive back in the same way. There are no drivers to install either. But you should buy a DVD/CD writer for abut $35 since just CD burners are hard to find.

unplug power, open side of tower, de-static yourself, remove old burner, follow power to MB and disconnect. Reverse to install new burner.
