chevy2410 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I don't think so. DVD drives are so cheap now, maybe go out and pick one up. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21287-no-dvd-reader-need-help/#findComment-140421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdsony Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 A DVD reader is about $25-$30. Are you sure your PC will run OSX anyway? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21287-no-dvd-reader-need-help/#findComment-140727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwprod12 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Just use VMWare. Free Trial at www.vmware.com (I think) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21287-no-dvd-reader-need-help/#findComment-140760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmiller1219 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 ya it has all the necessary requirements; however, when we bought it, dvd readers were expensive. i have 2 seperate hd's and one wont be a slave, and i need to erase it so i figured to just load osx86 on it to wipe it out and have on it. So i just need to connect that HD and pop a cd in it. that had wont let me get to windows for some reason so that would rule the vmware option out.
