Sure can! Just put it in the same place as your current/other dash(s)

I don't have any dash's that is the whole problem. Is it normal to not be able to boot any backup games until you install some kind of dash?? I'm going freakin bonkers. If this f$%kin thing won't read cd-rw's I'm going to stomp on it. I am off to town to find some goddam cdrw's. What a complete pain in the ass this is.

DVD-R

Use the sony ones and burn them at the lowest speed possible. :)
