SOURCE: DVD - RW WONT WORK -

Unfortunately optical drives do have a short life span, you can buy a replacement from newegg.com so cheaply these days its not worth messing with the old one.
I have just bought a DVD-RW dual layer OEM (so I had the burning software with it) for a new build I am doing for $28 plus delivery.

SOURCE: what kind of serial interface do I need for a new

Should be just a straight ribbon cable, you can use either a 50 or an 88 cable, on a 50 the dvd must be set as master using the jumper configuration. On an 88 you just set the jumpers for cable select and make sure that you use the furthest connect on the ribbon cable from the device as your master. Nothing too complicated about it.

Replacing a cd drive

The 4600 has PowerDVD to play DVDs (You should have the software CD to install it on the 3000) DVD burning software would be Roxio/Sonic, and you should have that CD too.
If you don't have the CDs, then try download.com to download Free player software and Burning software

I want to upgrade from cd rw to dvd/cd rw

If you are looking to replace the internal drive, then as long as you purchase a drive with the same interface it will work. If you are looking for a USB external drive then any one will work.

The only thing Dell was correct with is it should have +/- signs.
