the_dala at 12:13pm on 25/04/2007This might sound incredibly stupid, but I don't know the answer. Can you replace a CD/DVD drive on a laptaop with any basic internal drive? To be specific, if I bought this DVD-burning drive, could I install it on my laptop, which only has a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive?
I've been shopping around for external DVD burners, which are way more expensive, because I was thinking you could only install an internal drive on a desktop. And then I thought...why, exactly? I would really like the answer to be 'yes,' btw, because I can justify fifty bucks but not eighty. I should have asked the guy at the store, but I was already halfway home when it occured to me that I might be able to use an internal drive.
