I have a second-hand Latitude L400 laptop. It has no floppy or CD-ROM drive,
and no manual.
I want to add a CD-ROM drive. What kit do I need please?
Looking on the (UK) Dell site, I can buy a "(Removable) 24X CD-ROM Drive
(Kit)" for UKP57 ($90). But there is no more info on this than that line of
text. Is that all I need? I am suspicious because other retailers talk about
a media cable, or something, which seems to be another UKP50 ($80).
BTW, I don't want a USB CD-ROM drive, as I need to be able to boot from
this - the OS has gone AWOL.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!!
