Nope... the data on a DVD-ROM is packed much tighter. A CD-ROM cannot read DVD's but a DVD-ROM can read CD's

How do you fix an original xbox that wont read disks?

This is an issue with dvdrom in the xbox. The drive will likely have to be replaced. Try cleaning the dirve first. Walmart has cdrom and dvdrom cleaning disks for a cheap price. Insert it into the drive and allow it to cycle. There is audio content on the disk so if it plays, the drive should still be good. If not, and it rejects it, Replace the drive. Go on line to xboxguru.com and see if they have a replacement drive. The average 50 to 75 bucks.


How do you remove CD drive from dell inspiron 2200?

Flip the laptop over so that the rubber feet are facing up. Remove the screw in the center of the laptop with the picture of a lock near it. This is the only thing keeping the cdrom drive from sliding out of the laptop. If it doesn't come out easily, you may need to power up the laptop, open up the cdrom tray, power off the laptop (while the cdrom tray is still open) then repeat procedure above - however, you'll now have the cdrom tray to use as a handle to pull out the entire cdrom drive.
