Teac Burner Software
I just got a Compaq Presario 2100 (laptop) ,how can I tell if it has a DVD burner?
I am a newbie to computer hardware/software, so here is all I know this far, it has a DVD/CD-RW Drive(D:), and on its properties it says it is called TEAC DW-224E-A DVD/CD-RW Drive
If any more information needed I will gladly add it if I can find it, thanks in advance for your help!!!! I want to burn a dvd but I am not sure I have the right tools, thanks!
First, I refurbish laptops to resell on eBay, so there is some credibility on the answer, lol.
Considering that this model laptop was released on 3/31/03 and most new laptops at that time only had CD-RW/DVD Combo drives or just a plain CD-ROM drive. So about a 99% chance that it does NOT have a DVD burner. A couple of ways to tell look at the side of the laptop and if it does not say DVD-RW then it probably cannot burn DVDs. Another way to check this out is by going to the hardware profiles on your laptop. Steps on how to do that are below.
Click the Start button
Click on Control Panel
Click Performance and Maintenance
Click System
Select the Hardware tab
Select Device Manager
You should see ALL hardware items installed on your computer. You will see the one item that shows DVD-ROM or CD-ROM or CD-RW or DVD-RW or a combination of any of these. There should be a plus beside it, click the plus. This will pull up ALL optical drives on your laptop. If this does not say DVD-RW then it will not burn DVDs.
You can purchase DVD burners off ebay for this model laptop for around $40-60. They are not hard at all to install. I have owned about 12 of this model laptop and have replaced the drives on a couple of them.
