on its side-vertical?

Noobie question- Can optical drives run on its side?

Jognt · 11-08-04, 02:07 PM

yes they can

they usually have a clip like weird thing in the drive bay which you can slide in another position so it can run vertically

i am about 99% sure about this though, so dont hurt me if im wrong *angelface*

And make this a third post verifying it

My parent's Gateway has a CD that runs by default in this location, and has had no troubles since they got the thing a year ago.
