Lt. James Cater 62 Posted March 31, 2009 For the life of me, i can't update the drivers for the stock drive on my E-machines so i'm thinking about going with an external drive. However, i know nothing about them except what they do. So i figured i'd ask here as part of my research Any info? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost029 1 Posted April 1, 2009 For the life of me, i can't update the drivers for the stock drive on my E-machines so i'm thinking about going with an external drive. However, i know nothing about them except what they do. So i figured i'd ask here as part of my research Any info? I have an external CD drive on my wife's computer and have had no problems with it. It has a USP, I just plugged it into the computer. The computer reconized the drive immediately. For what it is worth, the computer is an E-machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted April 1, 2009 The only issue is if you expect to be able to boot from it, and that is totally dependent on the BIOS on your mobo. Other than that, I've never seen many issues at all with any of them. In fact, in some cases I've found an external over USB2 to be FASTER than the internal one!
