    Hi Folks,
    I'm on the look out for an external DVD drive for my AA1 PC ZG5 net book. Will a DVD drive powered From the USB port work okay with my machine? I only want to watch DVDs, not to burn discs or install from the drive. Thanks, Anne :)

    Hmmm, I've just seen an Xbox 360 HD DVD drive for sale at a good price. Will this work with my AA1?
