replacement DVD drive for Liteon 5045

[spacepiggy]

I've searched the archive, but found no discussion about replacing the DVD drive in a Liteon machine.

The HDD recording/playback/editing functions are fine, just the disc burner is producing discs that hang in some players (including self play in the 5045).

So I was wondering if I could pick up a replacement DVD+/-RW drive and just drop it in. Maybe even go for a DL drive?

Anyone done this? Will the machine's OS recognize it? Particularly if it's a Liteon drive like this one from CompUsless (http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...106&pfp=BROWSE)?
