    Hi All.....New here.

    Have just got the Aspire One D150 (o/s is XP Home, 160Gb HDD) and have been trying - with a singular lack of success - to find a genuinely compatible external USB DVD+-RW drive. Acer themselves can't (or simply won't) suggest a suitable drive. This is all the more daft since the Acer Recovery software keeps reminding me to make a DVD recovery disk!

    I tried one drive (TSSTcorp TS-L532B) which works perfectly on my Aspire 7720G (o/s: Vista Ultimate), but is totally useless on the "One" running XP Home. Does anyone out there have any advice on either obtaining special drivers which work with the Netbook/XPHome/DVD drive compatibility issues? Conversely, can someone recommend an external DVD/RW drive which will work correctly with my set-up?

    Thanks in advance.
