I asked someone to pick one up for me today at officemax but they were $60. They weren't for blu-ray either. I just finished my build minus an optical drive because mine uses what I believe is called PATA and my motherboard only supports SATA. I need a drive that'll both read and burn cd/dvd. New egg has cd/dvd drives and cd/dvd burners.
1) Do I need both or will the burner also read and install my discs such as windows 7?
2) I was looking at one of the drives on newegg and it said compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista. Is this a tyo or are do I need to buy a Windows 7 compatible drive?
