DVD/CD Ram probs

[Eddystonepete]

Hi Mike, hard to diagnose what might be be wrong with your drive but do you realize that the internal drive can be replaced easily? Most laptop drives use the same mini ide connector, with an adaptor to suit the particular laptop, thus a drive from another laptop can be fitted by changing over the adaptor. Its not always obvious that there is an adaptor, they usually look like a small pcb fitted over the ide connector.

Hope this helps
