Notebooks are usually quite fussy about what's put in them. You could try
EBay. Or if you're not using it when travelling, consider an external drive
(USB/Firewire)

I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop which has a Toshiba SD-2612 internal
DVD drive which has stopped working. Are there any cheaper alternatives
to buying a new drive (other than second-hand)? i.e. do cheaper
"compatible" drives exist?

Many thanks,

Ben
