Question SWAP DVD DRIVE?

All,
I recently purchased an xbox (not 360, the older black type) to give as a gift to my girlfriends little brother. However, I have come to realize that the DVD drive needs replaced. I ordered a Samsung/Toshiba SDG-605 to replace the old drive. Is this an easy swap? Do I need to "flash" the new drive? I've tried to find a tutorial for this to no avail.
Please help!

It is not hard at all. All you do is open up the xbox and disconnect the old dvd drive and hook up the new one. All there is is an IDE cable that you need to plug in and your done. No Flashing involved.
