Any way to install older cd/dvd on to 64 bit

[sir pete]

I have some older CDs and a new 64 bit computer. Is there ANY way of getting the old cd to work on 64 bit???

Are you talking the CD/DVD drive or software applications sir pete?

CD/dvd drive

I think what you are rally asking is if an older drive with a PATA connector can be made to work in a newer system with only SATA connectors. The answer is no, you must get a new drive with a SATA connector.

Yes, you can, but I personally would just get another CD/Dvd drive.

You're better-off just getting another CD/DVD drive; They can be had for about $18 on newegg.com

Plus, the new cd/dvd drives are faster.
