Cheaper to buy it from somone other then Dell. Newegg or Mwave would be my suggestion.

Yeah apparently the SGC bought all there laptops from Dell.

Not directly but you can use ICS or other internet sharing software to do it.

Combination of DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink and Nero (DVD Shrink actually uses Nero to do the burning I believe).

Yeah would have been a lot easier on the consumer if the 2 groups could have decided on one standard.

RDMS "My media is Verbatim's DVD-R." The drive you have listed is a +R (and +RW) only drive. Yhe -R media won't work.

Make sure you patch XP from Windows Update. I seem to remember having this problem when I installed XP Pro on my 9100. It installed fine after patching.

Coupon codes. Enter on the dell site when you order.

Yeah the cheapest I have seen this drive so far has been around 197USD. I put myself on the notification list but don't have much hope they will still offer it at this price when they get more stock in.

Kingmax at NewEgg was 107 each the other day.
