    Hi All,

    I accidently ordered by D820 with a cd rom. I want a DVD writer. Which one do I get? I ordered a GWA-4082N on a recommendation by someone else on this forum, but it doesn't seem to fit. The connector in the back is a different size, as well as the fact it doesn't have the little "thingy" that pulls out so you can actually get the drive out of the machine. Even on the Dell site there isn't anything that actually says explicitly there is one for the D820.

    Any ideas ?!?!?!
