| 166226 | 2003-08-08 15:06:00 | Hi I have a PC Company computer and bought a DVD rom with it. The problem is, I can't find anywhere what sort of brand this DVD drive is. Next to manufacturer is says "Standard CD-ROM drives". Has anyone else here bought a DVD rom with a PC Company computer and has actually found out what sort of brand it is or found out who the manufacturer is? Thanks |

| 166227 | 2003-08-08 20:23:00 | I suggest you simply ask The PC Company. Or do you suspect they don't know? :-) When I wanted to know the brand of my internal dial-up modem to find an updated driver, they told me by phone and subsequently sent me a full listing of all my components. Is there no clue in the text that appears at boot-up? Mind you, given the short life (just over a year; just enough time to take it out of warranty) of their CD drive, I wouldn't trust a DVD drive supplied by them. Argus |

That was the only way I could find out what make mine was, you could always try something like AIDA, but I doubt that will get you results. If you see warning stickers on the case about opening it and invalidating your warranty, ignore them - you can't invalidate your warranty by opening the case, contrary to the sticker's belief :) |

| 166229 | 2003-08-08 22:51:00 | Aida32 should give you the details on the DVD drive. You can download the AIDA32 - Personal System Information program from here (www.aida32.hu). In the program under Storage > Optical Drives, it should display the manufacturers name. | Jen C (20) | ||
| 166230 | 2003-08-08 23:04:00 | Just noticed that Aida32 is now on version 3.75. You can update your Aida32 program by using the update function within the program. File > NetUpdate. | Jen C (20) | ||

You need a brain to have a belief, or at least be alive |
