Got an old pc with no dvd drive in it? Why not mod it’s CD rom drive to play DVD’s this weekend?

24x to 40x
40x or higher
Drives slower than 24x are too old to be modded.
24x to 40x CD ROMs

Laser Head Adjustments:

The track pitch of CDs is 1.6 microns, and the track pitch of DVDs is only 0.8 microns. The minimum length of track pits of CDs is 0.843mm, and the minimum length of track pits of DVDs is 0.293mm. That’s why DVD discs can store much more data in the size of a CD.
Pinpointing this situation, we need to adjust the laser head so it can read discs with smaller track pitchs and shorter track pits. Open up the CD-ROM drive, do you see a lens on the rail? That’s the laser head. On the side of the laser head, there’s a screw you can adjust.

NetBIOS Hacking

For this tutorial, We used Microsoft?s Windows XP Home Edition.

-What is it?-
NetBIOS Hacking is the art of hacking into someone else?s computer through your computer. NetBIOS stands for ?Network Basic Input Output System.? It is a way for a LAN or WAN to share folders, files, drives, and printers.

-How can this be of use to me?-
Most people don?t even know, but when they?re on a LAN or WAN they could possibly have their entire hard drive shared and not even know. So if we can find a way into the network, their computer is at our disposal.

-What do I need?-
Windows OS
Cain and Abel (Oxid.it)
