| 375298 | 2005-07-25 17:06:00 | Hi, I need to buy some CD's to store mainly data, but also digital photos. I have never used our drive to record on. I looked in the hardware description and it's listed as a: HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE 8483B Any ideas? Thanks, Lori |

| 375300 | 2005-07-25 21:11:00 | The media you are after is CD-R or CD-RW discs. Most brands are ok, I use the cheapies (TDK or Dorado) and they suit my needs (Application backups e.g. zipped files) |
