When plugged in, the light illuminates and the disc spins, but the drive isn't picked up by windows on any of the computers I have tried. It may be a problem with the drivers or software I am using, I don't know. Listed as for parts because I can't verify that it works, it might. Feel free to message me with any questions, and keep in mind that returns are accepted, so you're free to see if you have better luck than I did and send it back if not!
