Does this take the place of the internal CD?DVD player in my computer which won't work?

Yes, but it's not compatible with the newer motherboards. If you have an old computer I'll sell it to you at a good price. I opened it new and realized it wasn't compatible. Never used.

Don't know if this will help, but I put the DVD in a different computer, transferred the files to a USB drive, then put it on my laptop that doesn't have a cd/dvd drive.. worked for me..

no. this machine do not have any cd/dvd drive (cause it is lightweight). you can buy an external unit if you want. but to be honest, rarely you will need a dvd unit.

Yes it does! Also works it's way out of the cd slot over time. Is really cheaply made.

No.. it does not have a DVD player, you'd have to buy an external USB DVD player.

Sorry but this laptop has no CD player at all. You can add an external one.

It does not have a CD/DVD player. You would have to buy an external one and connect via USB.

No it doesnt. Its more in the form of a netbook... Who needs CD/DVDs anymore?

Yea, this head unit plays DVDs directly with its internal drive. It also has one auxiliary audio/video input that allows you to play an external source on its video screen, and one auxiliary audio/video output that allows you to play a DVD on an external screen, such as a rear seat entertainment system.

Does it recognize the DVD if it does it could be a program issue. Also I would check the drivers to see of everything was installed.

yes, the computer assigns the drivers for the device, not the device itself. No need for a cd either, just remember this is a 2.0 USB device not the newer USB 3.0

To be honest, I don't know. We don't use the DVD part of the computer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

There is a chance it will work without the CD, but it may not. Windows may "see" the hardware and install the driver. However, I would recommend trying the vga port before you buy this one.

No, this has no DVD/CD drive. Most people don't need one. You would need an external CD drive, or a different system that included an internal cd/dvd drive to do what you're describing.

Yes the one I bought, had the hardware as described....but the DVD drive wasn't reading any disc. So I bought an external DVD drive for $30.00..Minor cosmetic damages. But up to now, the computer is working.

this works just like an internal dvd-r. It reads and rights CDs, CDR, CDRW, DVD, DVD-R and DVD-RW it just connects via a USB port.
