[JAKEBAB]

so instead of making a new post decided to re do this one since its sum what related. my question is can i use my old internal dvd drive externally is there some sort of universal driver or something like i plug it in with this usb to sata and the drive opens and closes and it allocates a drive letter on my pc but when i put in media it doesnt show up like my gta disc lol heres some pics of it also i got the usb thing of ebay originally for xbox slim hdd which it works for that in xbox modding programs and the drive worked fine in my old pc when it was plugged in internally.

You can find a computer that can read DVDs, make an iso image and mount the image on your computer.

Download an ISO from piratebay and don't use the crack.

You can use the laptop to extract the files and make an Image File from it and then just mount it using PowerISO or Daemon Tools.

download it then use the key in the cd

If you make an iso file and mount it as a virtual DVD it's going to be exactly the same as if you had a physical DVD.

Windows 8 can mount iso files out of the box, for windows 7 you can use something like daemon tools

I don't think two USB ports would power the drive properly, but I see no reason why the computer shouldn't automatically recognize the drive when plugged into the USB adapter.

 

What I don't understand is why don't you just install it internally? Even if there's no room, have it sitting outside the case with it plugged in internally. As long as it sits flat or vertical and doesn't get bumped, should be fine.
