I have an e machines T2042 with 2GHz and 40 GB hard drive. It came with a dvd drive and a cd rw. My brother-in-law has an extra internal zip drive (don't know details) that he can give me but I don't has any extra space. Can I use it externally and what would I need. He has offered to modify my case, but he is a high schooler who thinks he knows more than he really does.
thanx

The question is why do you need it? Zip drives only give you what, a hundred megs or soi? You can fit a lot more on a CD. You've got a CD RW (I assume you mean it writes), so use that for backing up or transferring data.
Us Cad people need them for transporting large files when our nasty IT people won't install a CD-RW in our machine. We're luckt to have paper clips. Question can you run your files from CD-RW disk or do you have to load onto your pc first?
Thanks for the advice. Since it was free I thought I'd use it if it was easy to install, but i really don't need it that much.
