And my research indicates that most laptop optical drives are >interchangeable, as long as they are the same height (12.7mm [mine] vs. >9mm). It arrove today. I hate rebooting so I installed it live (a bit tricky, but I succeeded). I inserted a movie DVD, which was immediately recognized, mounted it, and proceeded to copy the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files to my hard disk. Not a single hiccup. Later I'll see what happens if I try Blu-ray discs, including triple layer discs. That will have to wait until I get some blank triple-layer discs. For now, problem solved. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
