How to determine if the DVD burner is IDE or SATA

I want to replace the DVD drive in my Dimension E310 which will burn is no longer the CD.  I don't know if I need a SATA or IDE interconnection network.  I'm sure its easy to find, but so far I've not found anything that specifies.

Thanks for any help.

  • How do I finalize the dvd with Windows 7?

    Hi anyone know how to finalize a DVD data (format mastered) burned with the Explorer of Windows 7? From the link below that looks like Windows 7 would only close the session, but not finalize the DVD, and I see no option for this. I want to finalize the DVD, so no files will be able to add to the disc.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/close-or-finalize-a-CD-or-DVD

    If it is not supported by Windows 7, is there any 3rd party software that can finalize the DVD burned with Windows 7 ISO image format?

    Hello

    Try the following steps to copy the files and folders of DVD.
    a. right click on the "Start" button and select "Explorer" to open Windows Explorer.
    b. click the "Computer" link in the left side of the Windows Explorer navigation pane. Readers, including the DVD player, hosting will be listed.
    c. click on the DVD drive. In the right navigation pane lists the folders and files on the DVD.
    d. right-click on a file or folder and select "Copy" from the context menu, or press the CRTL + C keys, to copy the file or folder to the Clipboard.
    e. navigate a directory on the drive of destination and do a right click. Select 'Paste' or press CTRL + V keys to paste the folder or the files in the new location.

  • Is there a view/windows photo editor 8 and the DVD burner?

    Is there a view/windows photo editor 8 and the DVD burner?

    I am new to Windows 8.  I try to be positive and I hope that learning to use it in the coming year.

    In Windows 7, there was a nice photo viewer/editor that let me also arrange slide shows, add music and burn the DVD the same.

    Is there something like that in Windows 8, or possibly a download?

    Thank you, Lee

    In regards to Yes Photo Viewer, Windows Photo Viewer is included in 8.0/8.1 0r Windows, you can install the latest version of Windows Essentials. With regard to the DVD recorder, that she was abducted by design, you can buy Windows Media Center to 10,00 US $ if you have Pro version or update Propak for US $100.00. Otherwise, there are many others, burning options - PowerDVD from Cyberlink is my choice.  Hope this helps and if you need help please post and we will be happy to help you.

  • Creating Windows DVD - can not detect the DVD burner.

    When I start Windows DVD Maker, my DVD drive on my Lenovo 64 bits Y460 can not be detected. When I click the selector drop down menu on the upper right corner drive, a blank is displayed.

    You have a 3G modem or another attached flash drive? My Huawei modem was somehow interfering with Windows Media Center/DVD Maker detect my DVD burner. As soon as I unplugged the problem disappeared. If I reconnected it during the burn process, it does not immediately!

  • Equium - How can I change the DVD region?

    even thought it says I have 1 more change available. I have a Pioneer DVD - rw dvrkd08a ata device and he tells me he needs a region 2 original disk and insert the disk and try again, but I just go around in circles.

    How to make that one final change from region t rear 2?

    Hello

    The DVD region is limited and can be changed to 4 or 5 times
    If the option is grayed out then that would mean that you have already changed this time view settings and now it is not possible to s more.
    In my experience it of not possible to disable this limitation

    Of course, there are a lot of different information about this and many people are trying to solve this problem by updating the firmware using a few pirates and unofficial software but I would not recommend this because it could damage the STRANGE
