I hope so because I've just done it.

Unless they're warped it shouldn't affect your warranty. Even if it does it's so easy to change it back they'll never notice. In other words: no reason to worry.

Oh yeah, changing the optical drive is a breeze and you don't have to open up anything. You just unscrew a single screw then push a little tap and voilà; it's outta there

Or, if you prefer, you can use the Dell guides which you can find at http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...0/sm/index.htm . I find them t o be quite good.
