can i use this drive for a dvd duplicator without software

NO! You will most defiantly need software. Operating system + Burning software or copy software of some kind. I also would recommend a different model. This one has a firmware problem that makes it very difficult to use PERIOD. Not for the general consumer usage. The one I got needed a firmware update just to get it to read properly and I never could get it to burn on media that is clearly listed as compatible on the compatibility matrix. Maybe I just got a bad one and everyone else will have better luck. Cheers!

Yes, you should be able, as the drive, I believe, is downward compatible with DVD. Of course, you won't be able to copy anything copy-protected.

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 the drive is just a DVD reader. Your system will be the same system you will just have a new DVD drive

The duplicator cannot convert video cassette format to dvd.If the conversion has already been made and you have the disc on hand then it can be copied by the duplicator.ThanksCopystars support team

Yes as said before, but you will need software to use the extra 250GB. The straight clone is just a copy of the original 250GB and the new drive thinks it's only a 250GB drive. The software will let you allocate the remaining for an alternate drive or a continuation of the same drive. I used EaseUS Partition Master and it worked fine.

Thanks for your inquiry, yes this drive can be operated using other software other than Nero.

Yes. Works in every way just like an internal DVD drive for devices that do not have an internal drive.

I have not tried it yet but I will be soon the drive should work just fine as a drive. The old CD-R/W DVD's Software that came with it may not .

The restore disk, if a separate DVD with the software on it, yes. On the other hand, these sometimes come with an installation in place already on the HDD, and you would have to make a clone of the drive to do the install on a new HDD. The last option is to do your setup on the drive that comes with the PC, and THEN clone the drive to a new (larger) drive. This is all legal and above board as long as you don't use the OS in another PC. There are several products available for cloning a HDD. Some of them are even free for this purpose...

No, it is a 'standard' drive which works correctly with native Windows drivers. Any program which works with other internal DVD drives will work with this one.

Rudy - No, it is strictly a CD/DVD duplicator. But you can copy files from your PC to a CD first if you want to make multiple copies of those files, such as photos, music, etc.

Yes, this device will serve your needs to duplicate the DVD you have created. It duplicated DVD's quickly, if you need more than one disc at a time I may suggest the Copystar products that duplicate more than one DVD at a time. I hope that this was helpful to you!

No, this is a duplicator (copier) only. This is not a disc publishing unit.

I don't see why not... I have never had any dvd (commercial or not) have issues in this drive

You can download the software from Microsoft and use the key that came with your disk. I happened to own a Sony DVDirect drive that I am using as an external drive for my MSI. If I wanted to, I could also set up another of my computers to share its drive over my network. Lastly, portable USB dvd drives are pretty cheap now and work really well with the MSI.

Of course you can do. Certainly there isnt a dvd drive; but you dont need it; just install the wireless print driver from internet or use a usb flash drive.
