Hello everyone. I'm currently in the process of building my second computer. I have an external dvd drive that i was planning on using right from the get go (to install windows). My mobo comes with usb and firewire ports so i'm guessing i would have no problem but just wanted to make sure. I know a cd or dvd drive costs like 20 bucks but u know... bein cheap never killed anyone i guess. :p any insight would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
 
I dont think you can do that cause im not sure but i think you need windows installed to recognize an External cd/dvd drive
 
****... i was dreading that response.... looks like i'm gonna have to spend that $20. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
 
by the way... u have my dog in your profile pic... so adorable when they're young aren't they? And then they grow up and go to college
 
i think you can, it just depends on your BIOS. mine gives me the options to boot from USB device
