You can burn both CDs and DVDs. If you want to use Lightscribe to create your own design on the top face, you will need to use a special CD or DVD that allows it. But if you don't, then there is no limitation in what types of CDs and DVDs you can use.

The MB990 and MB991 both have a DVD/CD player/burner built-in. It's on the right side, and can play (and burn) both CDs and DVDs.

I do not know, but have read that it can only burn single discs, not a dual layer disc/ I have not attempted any other than 25gb BD discs.

According to the compag support and drivers website it will work to play cd's and DVD's. you can also burn cd's however you will need a DVD burner program to burn DVD's and this unit does not come with one.

the external cd/dvd player/burner is connected to the pc with 2 usb cables -one for power, the other for data.i have not tried to burn a cd, but i imagine you should be able to - why not? it IS a cd/dvd "burner."but i can not say, for sure.

I have been able to play my cds and install my software from cds and dvds, so you can play them. Remember that you will need a usb port. I am very pleased with this dvd recorder.

Yes, it can play and record CDs and it can play DVDs. It was a really great buy! However, dump the McAfee immediately and install a better Security system and do a virus scan BEFORE you do anything else. Even though they tell you they clean it up, mine came with a trojan, multiple viruses, and a truck load of cookies on it. Once you get it cleaned up, it's a pretty sweet, albeit not super fast on the internet, machine! Enjoy your new year!

Yes it can burn DVD's from a USB drive or copy the files to the local hard drive. For more information got to: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/burn-cd-or-dvd-media-player

yes it does burn DVD's but you will need a secondary program to do it. There are many and I'll leave it up to you to figure out what meets your needs.

I concur with Gel Man's response. The unit will burn basic DVDs (no Blu-Ray, Dual Layer, etc.). The USB cord that comes with the unit has a single USB connector that plugs into the unit and two USB connectors that must be plugged into the computer in order to provide the USB 5 volt amperage required to power the unit.

I believe so but I haven't had the need to do so yet so I can't be 100% sure. I can say that my old laptop that's at least 4 years old can burn CDs so I would assume this one can too. One thing to know is with this laptop, if it is possible the files you want to burn have to already be on the laptop whether it's music or just regular files you want to save on a disc.

Yes this will play any cd,dvd, bluray. It will also burn all of those. I burn bluray movies and it works great. You will need to purchase the SATA connector wire separately, see link: Monoprice 108782 18-Inch SATA 6Gbps Cable with Locking Latch, Blue

This specific model does not come with a cd/DVD burner. However, you can utilize one of the USB ports and attach an external cd/DVD burner. Also, please realize this specific model does not come with a disc reader, so there is no way of playing your cd's, or uploading any data via disc. Just thought I would point that out before you purchase!
