Hello,

My CD drive has suddenly decided to stop reading, needless to say at a fairly crucial moment for me.

So I need to replace with a DVD/CD R/RW.  I am not up to date with what is available though I suspect that I need some sort of multi region/format and double layer capable?

Suggestions please as to make type etc. and anything to avoid as well. 

Regards,

Noel.
