No, a CD-ROM can't read DVDs.

You can download DVD-player software.

CD-ROM: Reads CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM
DVD-ROM: Reads CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVDR, DVDRW, DVD-ROM
COMBO: CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVDR, DVDRW, DVD-ROM, Writes: CD-R, CD-RW
CD-Recorder: Reads CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, Writes: CD-R, CD-RW
DVD-Recorder: Reads CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVDR, DVDRW, DVD-ROM, (DVD-RAM sometimes), Writes: CD-R, CD-RW, DVDR, DVDRW (DVD-RAM sometimes)

Sometimes certain drives can read less (e.g. a DVD-ROM that cannot read DVDR media) but never more. But most of you already know this of course

Re: PX-712A General Question

well thank you all for your time and replies. The main thing that I was concerned about was if someday I don't have at least a dvd-rom drive, I won't beable to get my files. Guess I'll have to deal with it then.

Thanks again everyone
