You need to burn a recovery disc or load firmware and your ST50 doesn't have an optical drive — or the old one's kicked it. This ultra-slim USB DVD-RW slots into the ST50 bay and connects over the included USB cable. No separate power lead to hunt for. One thing to sort first: you'll need the 5.25-inch to 3.5-inch HDD Kit w/ Slim ODD Bay (SVL-4M17A12096) if your chassis doesn't already carry it. Get that in place and this drive just drops in
