My Ma’s DVD writer has clapped out, so need a new one… For an old Pentium 4…
If we cant get it to work, shes going to take my pc (and I get a new one :)), and wack the new burner in there (mine died years ago)… could there be a cross compatibility issue, or has burner tech remained the same over the last 10 years or so?
Opening up the box and looking at the cable is going to be the easy way.
The long way, try something like this -> http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html
Download, run it and go to storage devices and it’ll show all your devices and tell you whether they are SATA or otherwise
Amazing price for a dvd burner/player… that also happens to play all HD-DVD’s and blu-ray discs. I have been frothing over my ‘plkanet earth’ blu-ray boxed set over the past few weeks. HD heaven!
Can pick up some cheap HD-DVD bargains just now as well.
