    Hi All,
    I would like to replace the Mat****a uj-841 in my M115-S3094. Its begining to act up and I've read how a lot of people have trouble with these drives. I was looking at the pioneer k05 at Centrix International. According to a faq there they said a lot of Toshiba notebooks use drives that are Inverted C-SEL Master Drive. The drive in the M115 is listed as master in Nero info tool. I was wondering if anyone has any info or advice on this. Or other compatible drives.

    Thanks in advance

    Ultradrives.com sells notebook drives, they may know what will fit.

    Hi again

    I ordered the K05 Inverted C-SEL Master and installed it. Fits fine, all settings are fine, master ide, udma mode enabled. Burned 3 dvd+rs, One of which didn't pass verification. Burned again at 6x instead of 8x all was fine, could be the media (TDK). So far so good

    Thanks
