I just got a new aliensense area 51 mm500 laptop with some addons about half a year ago but i got a defective cd drive.......has anyone else had this problem. i guess i have to buy a new drive because it had a problem that when you try to erase a cd rw it screws it all up and confuses everything . if anybody has this problem and has fixed it or have just heard of it...or if you had this problem and didnt know that it was a defective batch then tell me please.
My CD Drives stopped reading disks all together. I would suggest updating/installing your chipset drivers, that worked for me. I don't have any problems with them anymore. I know you can get chipset drivers from intel, make sure you download the right ones though.
Well ive re-installed my computer several times but no luck I can read DVDs thats about it.... i can also read bootable discs such as my restore disc and my win xp disc. I found the site on which i could get a new drive its someting like 125$ but i really dont feel like paying that much...i mean ive gone bout a month or 2 without it so i think i can manage till i havea bit more money and feel like getting one but i really wish there was another way to fix my problem. If there arte any more suggestions please speack up

Alienwares are nice, I have an Aurora 7500 desktop and I love it! Anyway.. just tell alienware that your cd drive is defective, and they should send you a new one, or maybe you could send the computer back to them so they can fix it. When i got mine, my monitor had a couple of scratches on it, so i emailed them, they sent me a free new one, and i sent my old one back.. so i suggest you just send an email or something.
sweet man my neighbor has one as well except i think it might be a differnt model. either way pretty cool gaming machine imo, I also hear lots of people who dont like Alienware, but at the same time i hear lots that do..
i am on a tight budget on my laptop because its a little bit of short notice. ( my motherboard is on

process /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

For highschool graduation my parents said they will get me a computer. I have the choice of a
desktop computer and a PDA or a Laptop computer. I am having trouble deciding which would be better.
I will probably be going to the University of Missouri which, for the most part is wireless enabled.
I am leaning toward the desktop, PDA solution, but suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. Update:
Having considering my options. I have settled on a laptop. I have now begun to look for one. Any
suggestions on where to get a cheap, reliable laptop? What specs should I go with....
