NO, DVD rom can only read DVD discs.
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
"ROM" means "Read-Only Memory," so if it's a DVD-ROM, you won't be able to burn a CD. Any ROM drive only reads; it can't write.
No. A cd-rom drive cannot play DVD's. A DVD drive can play CDs and DVD's. A cd-rom drive isn't made for DVD's. It's made only for CD's, and it can't write any. It can only read.
A DVD-ROM drive does not have the capability to burn DVDs, only read them.you can reference the article :DvD Drive Can not Write to Writable Discs (Windows 98, ME, XP)http://laptopacadapter.wordpress.com/2010/01/23/dvd-drive-can-not-write-to-writable-discs-windows-98-me-xp/
A DVD ROM is a "Read only Memory*" it is the disk itself and as such it cannot burn anything. A DVD reader can only read DVDs. A DVD writer can write som recordable DVD formats.
Read/ write drives allow you to write DVDs. ROMs only read.
A CD ROM drive cannot read a DVD. So it is not possible to use a CD ROM as a DVD ROM. A DVD ROM drive can work with a CD though.
DVD is the same as DVD ROM, i think? either that or it means the drive you put the DVD/CD in. the drive is where you put the disks, (for all of you cave men). SO EITHER dvd MEANS DVD ROM or ROM is where you put the dvd
In general, no. CD-ROM is read-only. You can only read from it after a manufacturer writes to the disc permanently. However, there are recordable CDs (CD-R), which allow you to write once. And, there are rewritable (CD-RW), which allow you to write and erase many times. The same goes for existing DVD technology (DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW).
Ok you need a dual layer DVD burner and dual layer discs to write to 8.5 gig DVD's Nero burning ROM will do the job as long as you have the propper discs and burner. Use Nero express and write as data DVD.
