Answer:
You can either get a 'DVD Combo drive' and throw your CD drive... or you can go for a USB based DVD drive...and retain your CD drive... if i were you i will get a DVD Combo drive since it will make my place look less cluttered.
you need to install a dvd rom or dvd writer in order to play dvds, cd rom can only play vcd and svcd
Cannot be converted. You need to buy a DVD drive. It may be possible, but getting a DVD drive will be chaeper
Sounds like you will have to buy a DVD drive.

It's fairly self-evident isn't it?
hi,
if u want to play dvd at any cost then remove your hard disk and take it to ur friends who have dvd rom.copy the movie in their hard disk and put your hard disk as secoundary and copy them into your hard disk and then only you can play it in your system.
Instead of all this ,just buy a dvd writer.they are cheaper now a days.you can get it at a minimum of Rs1500.then play anything and enjoy
I suggest you purchase a DVD-rom drive. Prices of them have gone lower since they were introduced. You can also purchase those which can be connected to your PC by virtue of a USB drive.
worth to look in to this forum post.I saw it but i don't know whether it is working
Buy a DVD-drive, plug it in place of your old CD drive and install the drivers on the driver CD which comes with it. and you're ready to play DVD's in your PC.
Its better to buy a dvd drive & it also needs the installation
Buy a bloddy DVd drive, cheapster
As of now there are no software like conversition you need to have a dvd rom drive.
