CD/RW to DVD/R or DVD/RW?

Curious. Have heard so much about “emulators” lately. I have a CD/RW drive and a CD/R drive installed, along with 2 hard-drives, 1- 120gb, 1- 80gb. Is there one that I can download and use to play DVD movies on my computer, without going out and buying a DVD/R or DVD/RW drive?

Do I have a DVD and CD Burner?

my drive says that I have a DVD/CD-RW. Can I burn DVDs or just CD or can I do both? I bought a DVD-R blank dvd and my Vista Home Basic doesnt read it. I have reinstalled Vista about 3 times and I still have the same problem.

Need help with dvd drive and lightscribe (easy 10 points)?

I found this link to a computer drive: http://cgi.ebay.com/LG-18x-DVD-RW-DL-USB-2-0-Ext-Drive-w-Lightscribe_W0QQitemZ150336770700QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC_Drives_Storage_Internal?hash=item150336770700&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A15%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 (please check it out). I am wanting to be able to burn files to dvds with it. I have a Dell XP Desktop. Would that drive work/fit with my desktop and how would setup work? Also, how does that lightscribe labeler work (do you need something special for that such as ink or do you just stick a regular dvd in there)?

P.S. If you answer the question the way that I was looking for, I’ll choose you as the best answer (10 points) and give you a thumbs up (1 point). Thanks for your help!

Use the IDE cable that came w/ my 680i mobo to install my DVD/RW drive?

Hi. building my first computer. got my stuff today. Got an EVGA 680i mobo. It came w/ an IDE cable. MY hard drive is SATA, but my DVD drive is IDE. Do I just use the IDE cable that came w/ the mobo? In the manual it only talks about using the IDE cable for a hard drive. It also came w/ SATA cables, so im good in the SATA department. Thanks.

Can any of these drives (DVD Super Multi, DVD+R/RW, DVD/CD-RW Combo, DVD±R/RW) read PC video games?

Like the games Counter-Strike or City of Heroes.

Can’t copy files off DVD RW, why?

I’m trying to take a Keygen off a DVD RW and copy it into my external hard drive, is there a way that i can do this?
I’m not trying to convert it into a video file, the file i’m trying to copy is a data file, it’s a folder that contains a software Key-generator, but it refuses to let me copy it, why won’t it let me copy it?
