If it's just for occasional use and you have another PC on your network with a DVD drive, you could just share the drive over the network.
Sorry - not sure if that helps at all!
I haven't looked at external drives recently, but I'd just pick the cheapest (and do a quick web search for reviews)...0 -
And if you prefer Glossy Pink it will cost you £52!0

In case the OP doesn't notice, the Samsung has tray loading
whilst the Liteon has a top loading up/down lid.

Experience, mostly!Sorry to hijack this thread
But how do you guys post a link without copying and pasting the entire link and change it to read like this
e.g Glossy Pink
In what follows the space after the [ bracket should be omitted to get it to work - I simply put the space so the details can be read:
[ url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news[ /url] gives http://www.bbc.co.uk/news
whereas
[ url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news]BBC News[ /url] gives BBC News
A quick way of getting the result you usually want is to make use of the icon just above this data entry window which looks like a globe with a pair of spectacles below it. Highlight the text you want to appear in the link (e.g. BBC News, above) and click on the globe-specs icon. You will get a window saying "Please enter the URL of your link", which you can type in the URL, or paste a URL which you previously cut...
Hope that makes sense?0 -
Brilliant, as ever. Thanks all, will buy the Liteon.0
