Will this lite-on model work with Windows 7?

[Hirachi]

Ok I was assembling my first gaming rig when it was near complete and was time to wire up everything I realized that the DVD Drive I bought is IDE factor and that I need Sata in order for it to connect to my hard drive and be able to install windows 7. I saw this lite-on model that everyone says their brand is near flawless. I looked on newegg and it doesn't have windows 7 listed in the supported list which makes me worry if it will go unstable or not work at all.

It will work with Windows 7. Just make sure you connect it right to your motherboard.

You mean to the same sata port that my Sata 6.0gbs is in? I'm using Asus Crosshair V Formula if that helps

I'm sure there's other sata port to plug it into. Don't plug it into that one.

Hi

This is Bob from Lite-On's Facebook team, I happen to see your port when I was Googling.

wintermint is right in that if you've another SATA port it's tidier to have it connected to that

Performancewise though you shouldn't see difference if you connect it to the same SATA port

Yes it is Windows 7 compatable

If you have further questions, look us up on Facebook ( I'm part of the official LiteonODD global team) and I'll make sure you get answers

Good luck with the build
