I am thinking about purchasing the Aspire V3 572 5217 and would like to know about the process of adding an optical drive. I have done some research and pretty much assume that the majority are universal. I would like to know if the product itself comes with a bezel or if I have to purchase one. If so, what steps do I do to make the right arrangments?

Thank you for any advice.

    Intiailly I was looking for the parts list as well for my model, but the best way for me to get what I needed was to call Acer directly to get their recommended supplier. I did that and it was only about 45.00 for the drive and the bezel so well worth the price. NOW the only downside to adding an internal drive I see with Acer is that the autorun feature won't work. I havae set the settings as they need to be for autorun to process but still nothing... Acer refused to help and only directed me to contact Microsoft, in other words, they want nothing to do with it... Even though you kept it with their preffered supplier... So long story short, Acer is not turning out well and the best way to get something is buy it originally as you wanted it.

    Hello Brianrios08,

     

    Have you checked the following register:

     

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers

    DisableAutoplay DWORD

    0 = Turn On AutoPlay
    1 = Turn Off AutoPlay

    Hello laurent_14,
    No I haven't, I really don't know the steps on how to do that. Can you explain that or refer me to a video with the process please. Thank you.
    I have gone in thru the control panel and found a page where it asks me to choose what action the computer should take with the different type of CDs that are inserted. I selected an action for every single one but still nothing happens. Will your suggestion override that?
