CD R/W replacement drives
 

My CD R/W Rom Drive is sticking .... its tray doesn't come out without me tapping the front of it! :rolleyes:

Now, my PC is about 5 years old and does everything I want ..... I have just done a search on E-Buyer and these drives are about £5!! :eek:

Which is great, but - the reports on them are about 4 years old and some have trouble being recognised by the OS.

I have XP - may I have a problem with XP recognising a CD R/W Rom Drive which may be old??

If you have XP then dont worry...

dont get a CD R/W Pete..


Get a DVD R/W it will do cd,s as well they cost about £20 notes from

Computer Supplies from Novatech the pioneer DVR110D was highly rated, thats what ive got

Yep DVD R/W is the way to go. My mate picked up the latest model of Pioneer DVD burner from Overclockers for £18. XP sees these without any configuration.
