Question

I was wondering Can I replace hard disc in DVD recorder with my hard disc in desktop, you know I have 250 G in my desktop PC, My concern about the motherboard in DVD recorder if support my 250 G hard disc ,My DVD recorder comes with 80 G Hard disc. Anybody has tried before? BTW, I have gateway A230 DVD recorder ,alway show NO DISC after loading the any kinds of disc. Do you have any solution to it?? I have tried DVD Cleaner, it doesn't work, because NO DISC, can't read it. Thanks

note: the DVD recorder is not the DVD burner used in computer, it's the one which is used to record tv program or other video sources onto DVD disc. BTW,do you know which model of DVD record can play region 6 movies?

I wouldnt bother with taking out your desktop hard drive, but you could buy a hard drive at the store and it should work, also is there a usb port it would be even easier to get an external one. My DVD burners are directly connected to my computer so they dont have a hard drive but assuming they use the same type. The problem doesnt sound like a hard drive problem though, I would just go out and buy a dvd burner for you computer they are under 80 bucks these days.
