    So I ordered my mod chip finally, yayy! The only problem is that My computer can't burn cd's. My cd drive is messed up fro whatever reason and can't erally read cd's most of the time, though my dcd drive works fine. However, I have Nero and tried to burn a movie to a DVD today and it refused to use my dvd drive. Gragh.

    Anyways, I guess I have to buy a new external dvd burner? Any recommendations? Or should I just buy a normal drive? I'm not sure what I should do or what's the difference. Much appreciated! :) +rep ^^

    I have a real basic one that I bought at walmart and it's been working great for the last year and a half and I've made at least 500 some odd CDs and DVDs
