External usb dvd

[returntosender]

If I buy an external usb Blu Ray DVD player, will i be able to load an OS to my computer with it?
This computer only has a CD ROM. I want to load 7 to XP.
Then use the player for Blu Ray movies.

Or I could take the DVD rom from my ravaged hamster virus computer and put it in my xp computer but I don't know about compatibility.

If your bios allows boot from usb device then there shouldn't be a problem. I suspect that the old IDE DVD player might also work.
