piyushp_20, Dude as long as you have the source, you shouldn't need to test it out yourself, This is a great post, and I think I'll rip apart some of my old cd drives to see. Most of us do have DVD drives by now, and probably an old cd drive kickin around as well. Over here they're practically the same price, same for those lightscribes! so it kinda make you wonder, what the difference between the two are.....
