Thread: CD DVD drives swapping?

I want to swap my drives/burners to a different computer. where can I find the specifications for each of my computers. one is a windows XP Pro. the other is a Windows 7 if that helps

XP/7 doesn't help. You need the hardware info.

If you know the PC model number, you can google it along with "specs" to (usually) find the specifications.

Or - install a little freeware app that analyzes your hardware and key system software: http://filehippo.com/download_speccy/

nope, doesn't help.

you need the make and model of them. example: HP Pavilion dv6000

type your make and model into google, along with the word "specs". it will tell you what you need. it will either be a SATA drive, or an ATA (PATA or IDE) drive. look for that.
