Just make sure that you get +R discs and not -R as it looks like it is + only.

Ta:wavey: Try www.ukdvdr.co.uk (http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/) or www.blankdiscshop.co.uk (http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/) +R's is what you need, don't know the speed as it doesn't say, but it is probably a 4 speed

Haven't tried intervideo software, Go for NERO available from www.ahead.de (http://www.ahead.de) or one of the above websites for around £4.99 oem

That's because it is probably a "specialty drive" Obviously a regular DVD Burner for a Desktop would not fit in a laptop so they have models specifically built for laptops. I doubt you can buy them off the shelf or as an upgrade component from a store so you probably won't find any info. on it.

:wavey: Try any of these on the UKDVDR +R page REF PR1- £17.48, REF 175 - £16.96, REF 83 - £17.39 depends on what you want to pay, aim for a quality disc like ritek GO4 Dye.
