    It should, all laptop drives are universal, as in they all fit the bracket that came with the computer that is specific for that machine.

    I'm sure it would. I would really like one of these for the DVD-RAM support. I've got a couple of them that came with my DVD Recorder, I don't want to have to go buy some DVD-RWs. Although, a couple of DVD-RWs are going to be cheaper than a new burner. :p

    ummm... I think there are two sizes. There are bigger DVD drives, and smaller ones. Other than that they are universal.

    You might run into trouble with the face plate, but that isn't the end of the world.
