DVD-burner for Inspiron 8200

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

Hi,

I have a Dell Inspiron 8200, 1.8ghz, 512ram, 40gig disk with one
DVD-reader and the CDR Writer drive. I would like to add a DVD burner
drive to my laptop. As far as I saw, Dell doesn't list the part number
for the burner for this model laptop.

Is anyone aware of any DVD burners that would be compatible? I would
prefer one that writes both DVD+R and DVD-R. I saw some on ebay,
however I am sure they are propriatory and not Dells.

Has anyone had success with adding a burner to this laptop, and if so
where can I get such a burner?

Kind regards,
George
