Is an external CD-DVD/RW drive a complete replacement?
Is an external CD-DVD/RW drive a complete replacement for an internal drive?
I would like to replace my non-functioning internal CD-DVD/RW drive with an external drive, such as the Dell drive listed in the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-DW316-Ex...M6040WGXPZNYW1
I'm particularly interested in burning and using bootable CD's needed for some app's, where CD's seem to work much better than flash drives.
An excellent example is my current attempt to create a Macrum Reflect Emergency Boot Disk, where a standard flash drive with a FAT 32 format is not suitable without special formatting first. My first formatting attempt resulted in a flash drive that was not recognized except in disk management.
