    I just have a quick question on the M1530's optical drive. How soon should the drive grab the disc? It seems like I have to manually push it in a good 3/4 of the way before the drive grabs it. Is this normal?

    Absolutely 100% normal. You don't expect that much sucking power do you ;)

    Whew! Thanks guys, I was starting to get a little paranoid about it :eek: . Also, is it okay to transport the laptop with the disc in the drive, or should I take it out before moving it?
