If the player did not have functions built in for recording the drive is probably just a reader, no write capability. It my reach a point where it makes more economic sense for the manufacturers to only create RW drives than it does for them to have 2 production lines, but don't know if we are there yet, much less if we were there when your player was manufactured. Also I expect it's more likely that the player would have a laptop style drive in it which would require an adapter to handle the different size of SATA data/power connectors if you are looking to use it in a desktop system. If the system you are looking to use it in is a laptop, then newer laptops that still include an optical drive have gone to thinner drives. Outside of that it's a question of how things line up. The piece that secures the drive to the laptop could probably be swapped with the piece off of the old drive if necessary or left off if the drive fits tight enough if really necessary. The face plate is less likely the match up between the two drives, especially between a DVD drive and a Blue Ray drive. Later, Seeker |
