With the drive plugged in and working, you can now install PowerDVD Ultra. The "Found New Hardware Wizard" should show up shortly and you should select one of the "Yes" options to use Windows Update to search for a device driver and press "Next" to continue. The "Found New Hardware" tray icon should show up (if not, make sure the power to the add-on drive is connected and that the USB cable is plugged in properly). Connect your Xbox 360 HD DVD drive to the power supply, and then connect the supplied USB cable to the drive and your computer.

Before you start this guide, you might want to read our Is your PC Blu-ray/HD DVD Ready? guide to get to know the requirements for playback (which unfortunately, are quite extensive).
