I have not had much experience with Sata machines or rather those use
such. I want to add a second DVD burner to this dual core machine but
would like to know more before I open it up. I have replaced a number
of DVD burners etc on my other machines but they don't use sata.
Could anyone suggest a good site for instructions?

If the drive was new when the system was new then the system is not likely
to have SATA ports natively. If it does then they wont support optical
drives.
Once you have established how you wish to connect SATA devices to your
machine then simply realise that using such devices is no different to
standard devices, installation is generally much easier as you don't have to
worry about setting jumpers for master or slave etc. Some SATA drives have
jumpers but are for backwards compatibility, if you're buying a recent SATA
card then they shouldn't be an issue.

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.
