No! You need to buy a new RW drive. If you decide to buy a new one, choose for a DVD RW.

confident. you purchase a DVD-RW force and replace your DVD-ROM. the way you may want to imagine that that is even remotely plausible to by some ability make the hardware do something it can't bodily do is previous me.

Replace the laser, a lot of the workings, install new drivers, change your Bios. So basically... No
Buy your own, you can get DVD Burners from as little as $60.

no, cd rom drives don't have lasers to cut into the surface of a writable cd.
