External dvd re-writer

If you just want to use the LG external drive, then it will work with your new laptop (I presume it is a USB external drive). You don't need any installation software, because your new laptop will detect it and install the driver automatically.

does the drive accept the disk then spit it out or does it never close the door?

OKay

Sounds to me your trying to do what i did and did not work. the issue is the netbook is not compatable with this method you need a netbook compatable External unit is what i suggest, if there are any experts that have diffrent advice I welcome it as well. But I tryed what your doing in fact i went out and bought a external unit because of this fact, the issue is compatability.

Thanks

Yes you can use a usb external cd/dvd-rom to any operating system as long as the bios allows you to, most bios's have the capability.

When the external usb drive has been connected power up the mechine, in post it should tell what to press to enter your boot menu without entering your bios and choose usb drive to boot.

if you have an antivirus then uninstall it, then check
or do the fresh installation of OS

It may be the communication setup.

You might need to set within the Camera PTP protocol.

The WD drive specs out a 6 pin connector, not a 4 pin.

do you have a drive for your external hard drive when you bought it? windows vista is very delicate operating system. some manifacture products can't not be recognized by windows vista.

Your Acerf C110TCI will not succesfully run Vista. It does not meat the minimum requierments. It may load, but you won't like it. Stay with XP and SP3, it will be much better.
Thanks

You would be able to boot from the external drive but you will not be able to run an operating system from it. It would allow you to install another operating system if that is what you mean? If i understand you correctly though, you would like to say perhaps, have windows xp on your laptop and maybe run windows vista on your external? Maybe get to choose which one to run. This is not possible. Sorry. I hope this helps!
