This may come in handy when Compaq comes out with DVD+RW drives.

To see what drives are currently available from HP, click here.

Does anybody know if we have aftermarket options for upgrading to DVD+RW? When I do a google search on the model number, SBW-241, I am drowned with links. This has me inclined to believe that it is a standard form factor?

    * Remove the screw. (lefty-loosey, righty-tighty)
    * Slide the drive out using fingernails or some such.
    * Installation is the reverse of removal.[/list:u]


    Also, here is a couple of terrible pictures of the drive:
