Hi Daniel,
Ideally the drive should be replaced with one of the same make and model number, so as to minimise the risk of a compatibility clash between the units.
You should (in theory) be able to replace it with any IDE DVD-RW drive - however it is possible you will encounter problems further down the line.
If you can let us know the make and model number of the current malfunctioning drive, we can check our stock and give you price & availability on a new drive of the same make.
Kind regards,
David

Its a pioneer 106D

Thanks

Dan

Thanks for the info Dan - I'll make some enquiries with the warehouse to see if we still have any new 106's in stock. I'll let you know ASAP.

Kind Regards,
David
