Hi Mart,
You're right as-usual,it is a DVD-ROM In my system ,so back to PC-World,no problem You're asking me did I try it,would'nt know were to begin,have booked my unit into PC shop to have it fitted on Wedensday, Seamey "Mart" wrote: Seamey, I guess that you didn't read my earlier reply 07/01/2005 00:32 (GMT) However, regarding your 'New' Artec 56x CD-ROM, that should certainly be adequate for CD's - Have you tried it yet? Could you tell me the difference in, CD-ROM & DVD-ROM, are they not basically the same, No. A CD-ROM will not play DVD's but a DVD-ROM will play CD's & DVD's. CD-ROM still plays "DVD'S" when loaded.

Ahh, Ehh!! Seamey! (Pronounced "R A" - in a scouse accent of disappointed
surprise) I thought that by now - armed with the fitting instructions and a screwdriver - you would have been brave enough to tackle it yourself bg There's an army of us out here just waiting to cheer you through the exercise. However - to be fair - if you are not happy doing it yourself, then you are quite right to go to a 'teckie' Good luck on Wednesday - and come back to this tread to let us know how you got on.

Hiya Mart,
Change of plans,went back to PC-WORLD today and returned CD-ROM with the intention of of picking up DVD-ROM,guess what,ALL out of stock for 14days,would you believe it. Came home in disgust,got on-line to "Dabs.com" and ordered one,should do the job. "LG GDR 8163B-Internal-16x-5.25"-IDE= Read Speed=52x(CD)/16X(DVD)" As for fitting it????? when it arrives "I WILL" read the instructions and if feeling confident may give it a bash.(Saves paying a Teckie I suppose) I'm a "Plumber" not a Wizz like yourselves. Will get back to you if up and running, Cheers, Seamey. "Mart" wrote: Ahh, Ehh!! Seamey!
