    What interface does your notebook have for ODDs ?? IDE or SATA ?? (probably IDE)

    The only two drives I can think of ATM, are the Panasonic UJ-845 Slot Load DVD+/-RW (+R DL), and the LiteOn SLW-831S Slot Load DVD+/-RW (+R DL)

    C90S has a standard IDE based optical drive.

    I would look at the Pioneer DVR-K06 or the Panasonic UJ845
    I have the DVR-K06 and it is a great drive.

    Both are excellent slot loading drives. It may be hard to source them though.

    Wow that is expensive, I picked mine up from Meritline.com a little over a year ago for like $65 USD.

    The demand for them must have gone up cause Dell has been using them in their XPS1530's
