What operating system did it come with? XP? OS2? Windows2000? win9x?

What do you mean by it didnt work? Did it show up as "D" drive? Is it just not playing dvd movies?

For XP, click on START, select RUN and type in sysdm.cpl and click on OK
Select HARDWARE then DEVICEMANAGER and look for yellow !
You need to get rid of those first.

reboot, get into cmos setup and verify that the ide controller is enabled and that the cdrom shows up. Else you got a hardware problem.

I have a R32 ThinkPad I had a DVD but it didn’t work because i bought a used one. And i bought a DVD RW...

Didn't know if R32 is upgradable to DVD-RW...I got only the DVD/CD-RW.
Is it a external USB DVD-RW???
