Using a different cd drive for re ripping

[Drummerboy]

In a previous thread that I posted regarding a rip report, garym suggested that I might try and clean the disc again and then re rip it using a different cd drive.

I currently have the single user dBpoweramp licence Reference version installed on an Acer Aspire 5536 laptop which came with a DVD multi drive with the following spec:

[COLOR="*0000CD"]Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
CD Drive: DVDRAM GT20N
Firmware: CP02
Serial:
Maximum Speed: 4234 KB/sec (x24)[COLOR="*0000CD"][COLOR="*0000CD"][/COLOR][/COLOR]
Current Speed: 4234 KB/sec (x24)
Spin-down After: 2 minutes
Buffer Size: 1 MB
Accurate Stream: Yes
C2 Error Pointers: Yes
Reads ISRC: Yes
Reads UPC: Yes

My 2 options seem to be as follows:

1) fit another drive to my laptop (I have never done this but assume it is not too difficult)

2) install dBpoweramp on a different computer with a different drive but presumably I would then have to pay the higher price for the licence to allow me to install the software on this other computer? Is this correct? I would prefer not to have to pay an increased licence fee as I am the only person in the household that uses dBpoweramp.

If I choose option 1, is there a particular CD drive that anyone recommends for my Acer laptop please?

Thanks
