Can I Remove Optical Drive From A Desktop And Put It On My Netbook?
February 26th, 2010 by admin | Filed under technie stuff.Okay so I have a old desktop that I don’t use and I have a netbook that doesn’t have a optical drive. Since I don’t use it is it possible to remove the disc drive from the desktop and hook it up to my netbook? Im not so sure because i opened the desktop and the drive is connected with a bunch of wires unlike external disc drives that are just USB. So could it be done?

No, it cannot be done. Desktop parts and laptop parts are not interchangeable.
If the drive is IDE or SATA, you can buy a conversion kit to USB or FireWire.
