A CD is neither hardware, nor software. A CD is media. A CD-ROM Drive is hardware.
a computer file is software because it is part of a program and not a device (hardware) i.e CD ROM drive,hard drive
The difference between hardware and software is that hardware is something physical. It is something you can touch. For example, a CD and its CD-ROM drive is hardware, but the music that is recorded on it is the software.
ROM isn't really hardware or software. ROM is Read Only Memory, which could be software or hardware. Software can be read only memory if made that way, and so could hardware.
Yes it is a hardware componint
CD/DVD-rom drive, USB Flash drive. ect
If by "''work''" a CD-ROM you mean '''read''' it, You need: * a CD-ROM drive, either an internal drive (IDE or EIDE, goes inside the computer), or USB drive (external, goes outside the computer). * driver software, which either your computer will automatically install, or will be provided with the CD-ROM drive that you purchase. If by "''work''" a CD-ROM you mean '''write''' it, You need: * a CD-R or CD-RW drive (which is capable or writing or ''burning'' CD-R disks or CD-RW disks) * driver software (see above) * blank media (a stack of blank CD-R or CD-RW disks) * CD-writer software, like Nero (http://ww2.nero.com/us/index.html) or something else--often, this software comes with your CD-writer.
It's hardware - you can touch it.
no, these are two separate pieces of hardware that will need to be bought seperatly
Kind of a tricky question. Analysis: you typed ROM Software. What is it you are trying to do. DVD ROM software will do you no good for a CD and vice versa. Additional Info: A DVD will hold at least 4.7GB. A CD will hold only 700MB. Since you stated ROM, I can only deduce that you are not trying to store information, but rather READ from the device.
It is referring to loading a CD-ROM, or using software to load a CD-ROM image (such as ISO format) from harddrive or other storage.
Yes. CD-RW and DVD drives can be either internal or external hardware devices.
