I'd suggest either a Pioneer DVR-K05 or Matshita/Panasonic UJ-845, either will work great. I chose for my TiBook the Pioneer unit, under US$90 (shipped) from zipzoomfly: <http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=171021>
or from meritline for US$90: <http://www.meritline.com/pioneer-dvr-k-05-slim-8x-dual-layer-dvd-burner-dr ive.html> meritline also has the UJ-845: <http://www.meritline.com/panasonic-uj-845-b-8x-slim-dvd-drive-bundle-nero- suite-software-pc.html> Reading DVDs and CDs uses the same lens, but with separate lasers. I'd try a light shot of compressed air on the lens before tossing the drive. It's quite common for a bit of dust on the lens to foil proper operation with one media and not the other. dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
