you can install software with this correct?

The product comes with drivers for older OS's, If thats what you mean. If you mean using Cyberlink, image burner or ANYDVD they all work with the product once the product drivers are activated. ALSO if you are using this drive as a stand alone I would say you need to have the "Boot from" usb option, I do have several clients with "airbook" type laptops who do not have internal drives who use it but NONE have reported that they can boot or install from a bootstrap, they all use them as backup, storage and can RUN setup for installing MOST software. I cannot tell you if for example you can load a unix system os or install a new version of Windows on a blank system with it. I hope that at least helps.Duf The product comes with drivers for older OS's, If thats what you mean.

Yes. If your OS or bootloader can see the device, you can use it just like any other CD / DVD / BD reader.

Sorry but I don't know the answers, I could not get the software to install so had to return the unit.

Yes, software comes with the unit. It works great; not a single problem with it.

No, it doesn't come with software, but that shouldn't be a problem. Windows should recognize it as an IDE drive and install the correct driver.

Yes, you will get a menu when you run the installer that will let you choose which applications to install.

Yes, you can. The app isn't installed by default, but is available, and easy to install. It works great.

I think you can set any software you want inside the case and it should run it....just dump all your program discs with any directions into the side panel...

Yes, you can use an external CD drive to install software. Are you using a computer without a CD drive?

No, their should be a generic driver built in to the Operating system of whatever you are installing it in. Then a proper driver can be downloaded and installed after the fact.

The software is very easy to install, a single (small) piece of paper with the installation instructions comes inside the box of the device. Their website also explains how to install the software or update by the way.

You can if your entire system is compatible with your computer. I needed a tech to implement the feature.

I successfully installed the software on two computers -- if that is what you are asking.
