i have a Toshiba A60 laptop that dont burn dvds do i need a dvd burner with usb ? if so which one !?
There are two kinds of DVDs 1) DVD Rom (Read only Memory) only READS dvd’s and cd’s. Better replace it with a DVD r/w. 2) DVD r/w naturally can READ and BURN. If you have a DVD r/w and yet you cannot burn any disk with it, it implies two things: a) Your burning software like Nero for instance is not installed of something wrong with it. Try reinstalling it. b) Your DVD r/w is no longer working. You may replace your DVD drive If you do not know the real score of your optical drive better bring it to the Toshiba Service Centre. The advantage of having an external drive is that you can use it with any computer. But the draw back is that it becomes an additional hardware you have to bring aside from your laptop when you are to travel with it.
