...shouldn't make a difference.

If you now power down, disconnect the ribbon from the F drive and reconnect the ribbon that was previously disconnected from the E drive... power up and if E works OK, as it was... that pretty much pins it down to the CD-RW drive.

A generic replacement from Circuit City or Best Buy or your local computer shoppe should be around $40 or less.

If you get a replacement, be sure to look at the jumpers on the back of your old F drive... there is a set of three pin-pairs and one will be jumpered. Make sure you change the jumper setting on the new drive to match the old.

These jumpers are marked on the label or etched in the metal..
