I have a Toshiba Laptop Windows 7. All I want it to do is burn and read the CD. Will this do the job I need it to do?

I don't see why not. It read and burned a CD just fine for me under Windows XP thru Mac OS bootcamp. Didn't even need to install any drivers although a disc is included. I bought mine for XV barely used if at all.

Yes it will. I burned 2 CD's for my son's wedding and it read them just fine. Some equipment don't like burned CD's but mine seems to read them just fine...

Mine came with a CD. Although my Toshiba Windows 7 Netbook recognized and accepted the adapter, I haven't been able to use it as of yet...even with the long prior installed Dragon software. I have to find my external CD /DVD driver to set everything up the way the quick set up requires. Hopefully once I use the CD driver everything will work accordingly.

I've had no problems using it. Didn't need the disc that came with it. Windows and linux see it as a burner and work fine for cd's, dvd's, and BD.

Yes, it plays dvd and cds. Yes, it burns them too. These depends on your PC application software.I don't have Windows 8, so I cannot answer your last question.

Hi Boppy, this computer is advertised with DVD/CD-RW drive which is DVD read only. It burns and reads CDs. But we can gladly install a DVD burner at no extra cost if you place your order with us and email us with your request. Thank you for your interest,

Yes. I used it to read all the files on my 1.44 MB diskettes and which I copied my hard drive. From there I loaded the files onto CDs. My computer with Windows 7 had no problem reading the 1.44 drive. I used it only to recover old files from 1.44 diskettes.

Yes it should work for you I read the description and XP operating system is listed for this burner to work as long as you have a usb connection on your computer you will be fine.

There is a cd/dvd player & I've ripped music from cd's but not sure how I would tell if it is a burner. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Sorry for the late response, but don't know if it can work that way. I had a lot of driver conflicts and ended up using a different method. I gave it to a friend that had a toshiba laptop and it seemed to work fine for him.

I have windows vista and onlydvd/cd drives. I used the external USB 1.44 to read disks I've had for years. It did the job I needed it to do. It did not read all the information on the disks as software has changed for the software I used back then.

It should work on windows 7 and i don't remember if mine has to use discs. I think you can make it so you don't have to.

so, when you want to load programs from cd's, can you connect with a usb to a desk top or another laptop with dvd/cd capabilities?

of course it should. It's just like xp feature called the drag and drop. Right click on whatever file you wanna burn, go to send to and then select DVD-Rw drive and it will tell you it's ready to burn.

I would imagine it reads digital info on a CD just as it does on a DVD. The disc drive in my computer reads both and burns both. I don't see why a portable drive would act any differently.

I have burned most of my cd's from the computer. Will this play cd-r, cd-rw? Thanks

I would think so. My disks and the files on them were from old Windows version laptop and desktop computer. I transferred Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files and some images that were most likely JPeg. Everything opened just fine on my current laptop that I plugged this little drive into. But please note that this is a floppy disk (hard square things) drive and not a CD/ROM drive. If your disks are from the photo developer they are most likely CDs. This won't work for DVDs or CDs (shiny round disks).
