The DVD drive on my Dell Inspiron laptop has died.
I see three options:
1. Get it fixed 2. Replace it 3. Ignore it and get an external DVD
Which would you recommend?
(I'm running Linux Mint.)
If you go for option 3 then you already have a drive for your next machine, which will most likely not come with one since that seems to be the way things are going. My wife replaced her DVD with a second hard disk in her laptop. She thought it was a better use of the space. -- Len Sorensen
