Well, now situation is easyer. I removed original CD-ROm drive from modular bay and Toshiba's drive fits there just right. The only porblem I have is a faceplate. The faceplate from CD-ROM drive does not fit Toshiba's drive, it should have its own.
I DO KNOW that the faceplate for Toshiba SD-R6012 does exist for moduar bay drive. My main question is what is part # and where to buy it. Simple.
I have a Toshiba SD-C2502 DVD-Rom drive that I have used in a C600. Like you, I upgraded a bare CD-ROM drive with aToshiba DVD drive, and had to find a front faceplate bezel to fit the drive.
I finally found a face plate on eBay that fit perfectly without needing the corners grounded down. The Part Number is : PN 4741P (It has "DVD-ROM" raised lettering on the front of the plastic faceplate, and is not a blank generic bezel.).
There was no DPN number, just a PN number.
I do not know with a 100% certainty if the faceplate from the Toshiba SD-C2502 will fit the R6012, but it's worth a shot since some people have posted that faceplates fit most drives from the same manufacturer. (I.e. I know that this particular bezel will fit also fit a Toshiba SD-C2402.)
Dell Spare Parts Phone 800-999-3355 extension 69937 (if in the US). I don't know the numbers for worldwide (i.e. UK, etc., but I'm sure you can look it up somehow by searching the forums)

Thank you for using Dell's Community Forum.
To my knowledge, you can’t connect a CD/DVD drive up externally on that system.
Also, I don’t know of any empty modular dvd/cd case.

Thank you VERY much for such info.
Could you tell me, if I'm not able to find this part on ebay, is there a way to order it directly from Dell? If yes - how, in which department?
