I do believe my DVD player that came wirh my Dell is fried. So, I am looking to replace it with a player / burner. I am looking on the net, of course; but, the knowledge here cuts through the fog. Helpful Freepers have hand held me through a couple of major (for me) computer exploits, including installing a second HD. Looking for recommendations on what to buy. When I make the buy, I'll probably need some more hand holding for the install.
