    Hello,
    I would like to know ,if and when you have to clean a dvd,burner and what do you have to do to get this done. Is there some kind of disc for this or what.I have noticed at Wal-mart a cleaning thing for laser dvd`s is that all you need ,or is there a different way?
    Thanks Andy

    depends if a rom drive for a tower or a laptop style drive. use a cd/dvd cleaner disk on tower type drives & use a q-tip & isopropyl alcohol for the laptop style drives.
