Yes, it will work as the PCV-RS210 uses IDE drives and this is an IDE drive. I checked the specifications for the PCV-RS210 to confirm that. You will, however, need to get burning software as it doesn't come with any. CDBurner XP is a good free one for windows; K3b, Brasero, and Xfburn are good free ones for Linux distros.

Of course you have to do the whole thing. You would need the restore/ setup CD from PC Mfr.

The disk and a software cd (and a manual I think, can't remember), you will need another equipment if you want to clone your old disk

I read somewhere that a Gear Head 20XDVDTFEXT triple-format DVD USB drive would do the trick. You might want to check this out before buying one (I am!) so you don't get caught in the "...he said that she said that..." trap.Good luck, and please report back with info you uncover.Update:Here's an external optical drive which SHOULD work, and one which I'm going to try:"ASUS SDRW 0804P-D - Disk drive - DVD?RW (+R DL) - 8x/8x - Hi-Speed USB/IEEE 1394 (FireWire) - external".The quote marks are because this is from Amazon's description; it's available here on Amazon.Disclaimer: I have no first-hand knowledge that this combo will work.

Don't know as I sent the computer back for a refund. The computer was advertised that it had a DVD R/RW drive and it did not come with one

You don't This is meant to be an internal drive for a desktop computer and doesn't come with the necessary cabling to interface with a USB port on your laptop. There are sata to USB adapters you can purchase but it is an added expense. Retry. The drive and get an external DVD burner and you will not have as much equipment to haul around and easier to use

You can use a exterior cd drive through the usb port, and that will work just the same as if you had the cd in your laptop or desktop.

I purchased a separate dvd drive happens to be by Asus and was only thirty buck. Also, thumb drives are ten dollars or less for 16g

I used a very old sony vaio and it worked very well. Do not forget to remove the jumper for the pc to boot.

There is an Ultra Bay where the disc drive should be, meaning that you could easily replace whatever is already in the bay (Most likely an extra fan) with a DVD drive or an extra graphics card. (Purchased from Lenovo)

Not enough information provided to answer question; need: model type, e.g., x230, T___, Yoga___ -- and whether it has an optical drive already (presumably not), or docking station, or whether it requires an external drive.

They sell external CD/DVD Drives ... not very expensive . We bought one ourselves. SANOXY Slim Portable USB 2.0 External CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive

you're referring to an OS recovery disc I assume... my guess would be no. Most PCs now a days do not include that (at least not included for no additional cost), but you should have an option to create your own using blank DVD+Rs or USB flash drive Look for the HP Recovery Manager

I actually use my old PC to copy the installation files from the CD/DVD to a USB hard drive. I will then install from the hard drive. I agree that this computer should have a CD player given it size.

There is not a CD-ROM drive. I do believe you can buy a portable CD-ROM at Best Buy, Target and etc that you can plug in to the machine from the USB port.

You can download the Driver utility bundle from Epson's website and install from there. No CD/DVD or USB Drive needed.
