Did you ever find a place to buy the CDR/DVD for the inspiron 1000? My son just returned from Iraq and found out his warranty expired on 2/2/2006. It appears Dell sent him the option to extend his warrenty unfortunatly because the mail is so slow getting there and in the processes of shipping back to the states he just now received the notice. Anyway it has been put on my shoulders to try and fix it as a military budget is pretty slim these days. Any help on where to find the parts and instructions on performing the operation would be greatly appreciated. By the way I've been a computer tech for about 20 years now so you don't need to baby me just pass on the gotcha's.

Thanks!
