[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]I deleted your duplicate post and moved this to the appropriate forum.ThanksYou want to use it as an external USB to  DVD reader. Is that right?
A generic external USB DVD player goes for about $15 mail order.
Unless you do not value your time, you are wasting your time. 


thanks. i kind of hoped it could be used. cause it is also a cd and rom burner . thought it could be used to back up my files to cd. thats what i used it for mostly in the old laptop.Low cost  USB adapters have IDE and SATA PORTS and a standard power connector. Regular internal DVD/CD drives can be used with  such adapters. Sad to SAY, internal DVD drives for LAPTOPS are not the same connectors. Which you already know.thanks for the help. i also removed the hard drive and memory module from the old laptop ive located an adapter for the hard drive and a local office supply store said they coul do a antivirus data transfer for me but werent sure about the memory module.how can i retrieve data from it? it does nt line up to the slot in my new laptop..There is absolutely no data on the memory module...no adapter will fix that.
