Solve : CD/DVD Burner Problems?

Answer»

A few months ago, my CD/DVD burner STOPPED reading disks. This happened after I had tried to install drivers for my cell phone from a CD. My computer freaked out and would not respond, so I turned it off without removing the disk. I assume this fried the drive. I have tried several things in an attempt to fix it. No luck. The CD is not EVEN recognized by the computer. It just says "Insert a Disk". Is there anything else I can try? If not, does anyone have any suggestions for a GOOD CD/DVD burner? I'd like it if the burner was at least 16X. Thanks in advance.Lite-On burners are reasonable and reliable...

I have tried that several times before with no success. It always says it failed.
By the way, I should add that I have a Dell Inspiron 530 running Windows VISTA Home Premium 32-bit.Then the drive is dead... Quote from: patio on August 09, 2010, 09:28:18 PM

That's what I assumed.While it may WELL be the case that it is "dead". Before you make the funeral arrangements if you have access to another computer that you can install it into (doesn't actually have to occupy a bay) install it with the appropriate pin setting and see if it works in it. If no; CONTACT your desired funeral director and send out the notices to your local paper and as many of us that can will endeavor to attend the service.truenorth

You might ask Patio.
