    Default External CD Drive for Netbook?

    Well, I'm getting the Acer Aspire One with 1 GB RAM and 120 GB HDD and Linux for £199.99 from Amazon UK.
    It doesn't have a CD drive though, and I'm going to be installing XP Pro/Home on it, but I need a CD drive to do so...
    It's not got to be a CD-RW or DVD-RW because I don't need 'em, all it needs to is read CD's and DVD's.
    I don't want to spend over £20 but like I said it has to be able to play DVD's.

    I was hoping you could give me recommendations?
    i've been here for over 8 years and i don't know why

    You do know you can install XP from a USB drive?

    I don't know how well you listened, but I said my price budget was £20. The cheapest External CD on there is £31.45 or something.

    And I know it's possible to do via USB, but I don't have any USB drives over 1GB.
    So that method fails.

    1GB is fine to install XP.

    You don't need it to be over 1GB and the Windows XP setup is not over 1GB...

    True, but I'm still going to need a CD Drive for one reason or another...

    Anyone got any recommendations for 'em?

    an external under 20, good luck finding a decent make, or one at all.
