I want to play language DVDs on my HP Notebook with Windows XP. Is this all I need to do that?

yes, you use this just as you would a regular CD / DVD drive thats in your computer :)

Are they cd's or dvd's? Either one should play. I'm using Windows XP and have used the drive for both.

Thank you, Paul! I have the disc and the "Quick Setup Guide", but don't seem able to play certain DVD's.

It has worked perfectly so far for me. I'm running windows 8.1 on an Asus. Some tips; it seems to help if you plug the power cable in before plugging in the USB data cable. Also, windows doesn't come with a program to play DVDs, so you'll need to download one.

You need to use an external USB DVD player. It is a great computer. Boots almost instantly. Very fast and powerful.

That's a software issue. As long as you have the software to utilize either the dvd files or an iso, you can burn it to dvd

No, you cannot play a DVD on this machine, but it will reproduce a DVD player with a USB plug connection, as well as a pen-drive.

I can't seem to play DVD's. I load it and I just get a list of files. Do I have to install a media player?

I have some European dvds. I need to know whether this product will play them. (European dvds are in a different format from American dvds.)

Yes, it works fine with either Microsoft Windows XP English Version, and Windows 7.

I've had bad luck trying to install from a usb drive, had to use the original dvd. Another possiblility is occasionally windows 7 does not have the correct ahci/raid drivers, but it should ask for them if needed.

If you have the room on your laptop's hard drive for it to install the software. It installs a copy of PowerDVD. I've used that to play movies on my desktop but it should also work on a laptop. The drive draws operating power from two USB2 ports so your laptop will need two open usb2 (or USB3) ports for it to connect to..

Yes. It has Windows 7 on it. It works just like any other computer, it's just in a little package. It does not have a slot for a DVD.

Hi,It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

I do not know if it will play a dvd formatted for England, nothing in the User Manual addresses that particular subject. The only way to know for sure is to purchase the unit in England. Sorry that I can not be of more help.

I would ask that question of Dell. I have used mine with a DVD and didn't have a problem. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

Yes you can use windows media player but u can't make a dvd. You need a separate program for that not sure which one

This external DVD will work fine with any PC or laptop with an USB connection. So if your laptop has an USB connection (2.0 or 3.0) everything will be fine. Win 7 will find and install the driver for it.
