I just ripped one out of a hp that was destroyed in a car accident, I'd send it to you but it's bent out of shape

Re: dvd byrning problem

lol thanks but no thanks, just need a dvd burner. So when you mean make sure it fits you mean inside the laptop? Im guessing not, looks like it just sits next to it or wherever its convienient.

Yeah thats what i figured. I think ill just go with external though, i don't want to void my warrenty in case something i really care about breaks, and i don't want to risk cracking open my computer with my skills. So about the one i found on new egg, Is it good? Or should i keep looking?
