I've been looking into the DVD+RW drives here lately and most of the manufacturers say that they can not be used as a bootable device nor do they come with DOS drivers. I was thinking that these drives would be a CD-ROM replacement but it seems that may not be true. Are they any DVD drives that can be used as a bootable device or have DOS drivers, or does anyone know different then the people I spoke with at the "Technical" support line?
If you are asking why, well if you have to replace a hard drive (upgrade or crash) couple of options if it can't be used as a bootable device, have both a DVD and CD-ROM drive, install a CD-ROM for re-installing the new OS, or put the drive in another system and copy the instalation files over somehow.
Anyone hear anything about a bootable DVD disc?
