    Labelflash disks are not easy to find. I have a ton of lightscribe disks at home. Can I replace my labelflash drive with a lightscribe?

    Yes, as long as it is the same format connector (I'm pretty sure it's SATA). You will need to make sure it is a mobile drive, and be sure that it will fit.

    The process for removing the optical drive is rather easy on this model. Under the RAM slot, there is a small screw in the side there, driven into a kind of brace. Unscrew it and the drive should just slide out.
