I suspect that when the OP bought the used DVD drive the original owner is

can't find it a day or two later after you got rid of the carrier.

You are talking completely and utterly rubbish. Office 2000 is no

Get your facts pig!

Not only that, they post this rubbish on a microsoft-hosted server!

Talk about not being the sharpest knife in the drawer ...
