User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with windows
Answer:	It should work with Windows 8 though I only used with Windows 10. If you insert a DVD and a video player does not start up, you may need a player that will recognize the drive. On a recommendation from a friend, I installed "VLC media player" and this app opens when I insert a DVD into the Riodadas player. VLC is a free and open source media player that works with all Windows versions. You can get the player here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Question:	Can this be used to install windows 10 without the need to somehow install a driver first? it's rather tough to do that when trying to install an os
Answer:	This is basically a laptop optical drive in an external case with USB connection. I would think so. If the installation disk contains the installation software and the computer can access a USB device then it should. Changes to the boot device may be required.
Question:	Does this play games like sims
Answer:	It's played all my games without so much of a skip.
Question:	Does this work on macs
Answer:	Won't work with Mac 10.15.7! It was working before; now it seems useless. I see someone else is having this issue.

User questions & answers

Question:	Just replaced my old burner with this and i'm getting, "missing operating system" message? i have windows 7 converted from vista 64. can anyone help
Answer:	This is a great question to contact the manufacturer about ... you'll find their number on their website: http://www.riobrands.com/contact.aspx
Question:	Is this a sata drive or a serial ata drive
Answer:	Once moved to where it will stand (I suggest moving it empty so the wheels and base work better) I've put 2 twenty pound bags in it just fine (as the ice bucket in this case). The more bottles or cans you have, the less ice will fit of course.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you transfer VHS movies without going through a computer, on this device? thank you
Answer:	Yes, you simply insert the original in top slot, insert blank in bottom slot - close both slots and it begins the recording process. It is pretty fast, at least way way faster than my computer was. When it finishes, the bottom slot opens so you can remove your copied disc, a digital display reads " 0 failures", or "failure" if a disc is damaged or protected. Then you can insert another blank to copy same again - or remove both and insert new original on top and new blank on bottom. All you need is an outlet - no computer needed at all! I love it! Had mine for about 3 or 4 months - it is awesome!
Question:	does windows 10 work with this
Answer:	Yes, as far as we know.
Question:	can i install a OS (windows 7) through this

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone noticed the usb cable provided seems like usb 2 instead usb
Answer:	Indeed, the cable is USB 2, not 3. This shouldn't be an issue, though, because the drive speed is the limiting factor. Reading & writing CDs & DVDs (not Blu-Ray disks) is slow enough that USB 3's high data rates are wasted.
Question:	Will it play bluray disk also
Answer:	Im sorry, the product will not play blue ray
Question:	can it be used with a mac? I have a new macbook pro running yosemite
Answer:	Yes it does work on Mac, BUT the drive will not mount until you insert a disc into the drive. I tested this on both Yosemite and Sierra. On Sierra, I tested it against USB-c, which is the smaller port found on newer (2017 and forward) Macbook Pros. I used a USB-c to USB-a adapter to do so. It worked fine.
Question:	Will this play on Windows
Answer:	will this work on a lenovo ideapad with windows 10

User questions & answers

Question:	Did anyone have problems using this with windows
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: It's supposed to work with Windows 10 but it does not work. I didn't return it when I should have - hoped to get it to work but I didn't. Wasted money!
Question:	Will this play cd/dvd's on my lao top? is that what it is for
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: I have been unable to use this player. I wanted to return in but since it has so many positive reviews I decided to hang on to it and keep trying but it still is not working. Am I doing something wrong? I have an all-in-one HP with Windows 10 and it usually plays DVDs flawlessly but the DVD 'door' came off and it no longer works so I purchased this...it does not work. The disc goes in, then it makes all these grinding sounds and then-nothing. It stops. Before I throw it in the trash-any suggestions?
Question:	will this cd drive work for still photos and videos
Answer:	Yes!
Question:	Will I need to download a driver to install programs from CDs to my laptop or does it work like an internal drive since it's plug&play
Answer:	From page 5 of the Amicool User Manual: Precaution: Item 3. Whether the drive can be recognized depends on the internal driver program. Almost all older operating systems contain an internal driver program that can recognize the CD drive directly without installation. Please make sure that your computer has the internal driver program. If you don't have one yet, please feel free to contact us. We can send you a link to download a driver. I am waiting for a response from Amicool.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hello, do you recommend a specific power supply? i will be using this with a surface pro 6 and would prefer an external power supply
Answer:	This works, but if you do not have the correct port, you have to get an adapter for around 20 bucks. My macbook pro needed a USB Type-C hub pro to use the apiker external drive.
Question:	Will this play a MP3 cd disc
Answer:	Don't know. It did not work upon arrival so I returned it and bought another brand.
Question:	What's the DC input for
Answer:	If the USB power supply is not strong enough, you can connect the extra data cable to the DC input port to connect an external power supply.
Question:	The drive is not detected when i plug it in. is there a driver download for this? i don't seem to have the cd/dvd section /driver in my device manager
Answer:	I had to get a USB type-C hub pro for the apiker to be used. Inserted directly into my macbook pro, the apiker wasn't being read.
