A:AnswerThis sounds really silly, but did you turn your computer off and then back on after you plugged in the external drive? I would try that. Then another option, which I have had to do sometimes on my computer, select the (C) drive, then the computer will bring up all the external plug in's? You can also, buy a "charging" port which will recognize externals and allow extra charging ports, it's expensive, but an option. I haven't had any trouble getting my computer to recognize the external--it could also just not be working, take it to the Geeks and Geeks Squad and let them give it a try and see if it is actually working? Hope this may help!
A:AnswerI play DVD’s with it but you have to download a program for windows to be able to play DVD’s . I use VLC player , it’s free and works very well .
A:AnswerIt will play a DVD on a laptop with Windows 10. However, you have to have an app that will support it. Ie real player or even windows 10 dvd. And windows 10 dvd is not free. For 14.99 you can get it. Smh. Nothing is free anymore.
A:AnswerYes, it comes with a cable, USB Y cable, if you aren't familiar with that, it allows you to choose a type 3 connection that charges or that does not.
It also comes with DVD suite cd and two blank DVD R's, I have not downloaded that, as I'm having problems with my brand new computer and haven't gotten to it.
I have plugged in the Hard drive to a Charging Tragus 4 port usb hub and the computer does recognize it (which is great with the laptops moving away from type 3 usb)
Hope that helps!
A:AnswerOnce you connect it to your computer/laptop, insert the dvd, close the drive door you can then go to the bottom of the screen and click hidden icons or go to file folder. There you would select the drive that your connected to and select autoplay. Hope this helps
A:AnswerBottom line, it has a USB connection built in and yes, it can be used with any Windows Device (and even the Mac Devices nowadays too).
I'll caution you here about leaving any serial numbers anywhere -- just tell us it's an HP computer, with what ports available built in. (I used this device to read some of my old DVDs that I backed up my photos on to download them onto my newest backup hard drive).
A:AnswerYes. The drive type won’t have an affect on the optical drive function. You just need two open usb type a ports for power and data for this drive to function.
A:AnswerYes I think you can go in and change it to any region but that is done in the properties of the unit when you right mouse button and select properties in windows then you can change the region see pic
