    Hey guys,

    I just got my new 9300 a few days ago and so far I have no complaints. The only thing I've noticed is that the CD drive has trouble with some of my CD's. I've tried to install Office 2003 and it wouldn't work. I also tried to install a game and it reported a 'Catastrophic Failure'.

    I'm hoping the reason it's doing this is because they were CDR's. It's not a huge deal because I can install over my home network from my desktop, but it's really irritating.

    The drive I got is a: TSST Corp TS-L462C

    Can you guys post what drive you got and if you've had any problems? Maybe I can have them swap it.

    Thanks!
