the external cd/dvd player/burner is connected to the pc with 2 usb cables -one for power, the other for data. i have not tried to burn a cd, but i imagine you should be able to - why not? it IS a cd/dvd "burner." but i can not say, for sure.

If you have a USB on your PC - yes. Most PCs have at least one USB slot - that is how I am using it.

Yes, you can load a dvd burner or rom into this enclosure. Just make sure you BIOS is set to boot from a USB device, and you should be set in install Windows. Hope this helps you!

Sure they can. Just go to windows7 backup or restore your files section set up back up and start. But before you start to copy make sure you have enough (DVD+RW's 4.5GB divided by how much space you need) and format them all before you begin. Hope this helps. Good luck.

No software is required to run this drive. you need software to burn cds ex. nero, roxio

No...this has no cd or dvd built in to it...you have to use an external drive

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!

sure, depending on which system you are using. With windows, you can copy your svc pak discs to the seagate pretty easily

Yes you can. Just create the partition using the disc utility. (Applications/Utilities/Disc Utility) Hope this helps!

If you mean, "can I use it on Windows 7 without adding other software", then "yes". You can administer the drive characteristics using Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management (or whatever it's called in Windows 7; I'm currently using Windows 8).

Yes. I own this device and cloned a 1TB HD to a 2TB HD for my home PC running Windows 7. No issues whatsoever. Worked great.

Neither. It does, however, allow you to make one image recovery disc in case the windows stops working properly. Go to settings->backup->and choose one from those options

I don't see why it wouldn't depending on whether or not your system would fit. Ghost? Why bother? If you are using Windows you can make an image without having to purchase anything else. If you're using Windows 8, search for backup and restore.

Hi Deb... Most PC's don't come with disc's or paper instructions anymore, but with this PC; you'll have the opportunity to burn 3 disc's in case you run into a snag.. It works! Enjoy your PC! Abdul out!

It will burn the media onto the disc, but it won't burn the images on the light scribe portion. Hope that helps.

Hi Rita, this really has nothing to do with the burner but more to do with the program with which you are burning!The best way to burn to dvd is to:open the file with your pictures open the program called Windows Media Playernow you have two options you can highlight and drag photos to the media player or you can click BURN, at the top or sometimes the left hand side of the player screen, and then click SELECT A CATEGORY - PICTURES, and then highlight and drag those pictures to the playlist side. There is a small figure that shows how much space is being used. Once this is full you click burn and watch it happen. Your tower will spit the DVD out and tada it works!

No OS media is shipped. You can/should burn a recovery disc. Waste of time loading windows 7. Just overlay Classic Shell if you can't bear to learn one more thing. http://www.classicshell.net/ http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5295996&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03481733-9%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken
