Can I take some advices from the techie minded Kitizens, please.
My internal DVD-ROM optical drive appears to be defunct and in need of replacement.........the drawer wont close properly and requires brute force to shut it, and once closed occasionally it will not read discs.
Decided to get and fit a new one...they are cheap enough and easy to install.
However, I do happen to have about my person a new, unused LG GSA-E40N USB connected external DVD Rewriter.
If I plugged that in, could I use it as a DVD-ROM drive until my new internal job arrives ?
Thank you for any advices.
