The answer is "no", it it is a single type drive, you can only use
the type it was designed to use...

I had a friend that could not get his drive to work, and that was
the exact problem. What made it worse, Dell ripped his system
up trying to "fix" the fact that he had the wrong disks by deleting
all sorts of things...  They never bothered to tell him it was a single
type drive...
