New Dvd Recorders Finally, Vhs Through Hdmi How Do I Go About Purchasing A New Cdrw/dvd Drive?

How do I go about purchasing a new cdrw/dvd drive? - new dvd recorders finally, vhs through hdmi

I have my Gateway laptop a few weeks ago, and now I have to replace my CDRW / DVD. I have tried reinstalling the drivers and it did not work .. When searching for a new drive my needs, there is no specific system requirements, or work a CD-RW / DVD drive? Are they really expensive and difficult to install? I need as much information as possible. Thanks
