QuestionJust got a Samsung Chrombook Pro, Best Buy adverts an ext driver with it. Some say it is and isn't compatable. So which is it? We were told to use thumb drvs but he wants ext driver w/o limits.He may be a Treky but isn't a techy so please keep it simple.
Asked 8 years ago by SgtMitch.
- Answer Yeah, the sales associate tried to sell me on the thumb drives, but I couldn't agree with his logic. So, I purchased the burner, it works great, and of course there is no issue regarding permanent storage (not to mention the ridiculous cost of copying music and photos to thumb drives!). I hope this helps!!

QuestionWill this device work as a bootable drive right out of the box? Could I use it to install motherboard drivers and windows?
Asked 8 years ago by nickname.
- Answer Yes, this drive can be used a bootable drive to install both Microsoft Windows and motherboard drivers. You will need to go into the BIOS settings to set this drive up as bootable. Make sure that you have a serial ata cable connection available on the motherboard. The motherboard manual should tell you what you'll need to do or how to go about getting into the motherboard BIOS as well as how to set the drive up as bootable.

QuestionNot computer savvy, but have my large computer HP with windows bridge games, all my e-mail address. Can these be .transferred by disc or ubs to this laptop?.
Asked 8 years ago by TITIdee.
- Answer There are transfer cables and software available and many computers come with migration "tools". I personally find it best to locate my install DVDs or codes and install from scratch. You may loose your game data (unless it is saved online). But this reduces the risk transferring corrupted files to your new device.
