Hi Gaylene Welcome to the group. If you have put in a USB card you can put in a CD drive. Personally I would shy from getting a used drive. You might even consider getting a CDRW; maybe others have ideas for a particular model and source. Maybe put in a FireWire card or go SCSI or just get a replacement but I don't think you have to go used. George
