Hi My R31 came with the original CD-ROM drive. It works ok, a bit ropey, but I managed to install two OSes with it.
However, I would like to install a burner drive - either a combo drive (CD burner, DVD reader) or a full blown DVD RW drive. I took the actual drive out of the caddy/casing and fitted a UJDA760 combo drive and my R31 didnt like it. I did have problems with this under XP in another machine but it worked fine under Ubuntu. I am thinking there is something up with this drive in particular. Should I be able to just put any drive in the caddy/casing and it work under XP/Ubuntu. If so I will pick up a new drive.
