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.

Just open up your case, unscrew the dvd drive, and take a look at the label on the top or bottom of the drive. 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)

PoWa a sticker dosen't have a belief.......... its only a printed piece of paper with a sticky backing. You need a brain to have a belief, or at least be alive
