This may come in handy when Compaq comes out with DVD+RW drives.
To see what drives are currently available from HP, click here (http://partsurfer.hp.com/cgi-bin/spi/main?sel_flg=partlist&model=X1000_L1.0&HP_model=DK454AV&modname=Compaq+Presario+Notebook+x1000+Series+%28DK454AV%29&template=secondary&plist_sval=Drive&plist_styp=subcat&dealer_id=&keysel=Drive&catsel=X&ptypsel=X&strsrch=).
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?
Removing the Drive:(http://x1000.kylefarnung.com/media/cdrom_swap/cdrom_swap_01.jpg)
* 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:
