Hi,

may I ask you why you use your zip drive ? You probably don't need it.

Do you use the zip drive to copy data to share it with friends because they also have a zip drive ?
In this case, ok, you need it, and you would need an add-on card for the dvd drive.

Or do you use the zip drive only for yourself, means you save data there and don't give that data away. In that case I'd take it out, as you have a CD burner. If you want drag&drop, you just need a packet writing software (DirectCD, InCD, DLA. . .) running in the background and format the CDs you want to use as a drag&drop media.
