-=PCTechTalk=- Re: My Contraption

Becky,

You can add it if you want. What I meant was one drive is really all you 
  need if it's a DVD burner. You can burn and read all types of disks 
with it. You can even copy a disk with one drive, it just copies the 
disk to the hard drive first, then asks you to insert a blank disk and 
burns. That way you could add your old hard drive on the same cable.
