Solve : My cd/dvd writer drive?

1.	Solve : My cd/dvd writer drive?
Answer» Been having loads of problems with my dvd drive, posted questions on all boards and sites, and no one has actually been able to answer my previous questions! A new problem has now arisen so, a very last question for anyone who cares to come up with something constructive:- Don't know where you all reside, but the UK has a paper called The Daily Mail who give away free dvd's. (must be similar all over the world in other forms). I put the dvd into the pc drive, it whirrs away for a minute or so and then sits there. Click on the drive, nothing! EXPLORE the disk and there is nothing on it (which is the same when l have been writing to dvd's in my previous postings). But hey, this is a pucker dvd, but the drive still plays and burns cd's with no problem whatsoever. I suppose l'd like someone to say that the drive is Kaputt (as far as the dvd side of it is concerned) so at least l know where l stand. Or is there another reason why it can't read or write dvd's? An DVD/CD writing drive has a read laser and a write laser for each type of disk, CDs and DVDs (different wavelength of light). Four altogether. It sounds like the DVD read laser is shot. Unless it reads other DVDs fine, in which case the disk is shot. Two points: the Daily Mail is the crappest of crap newspapers, and this is how you spell "pukka". The first part of your answer is brill, as it sort of means that my drive could be somewhat shot! Thank you for that. The second part of your answer beggars belief and I DO NOT CARE FOR YOUR ATTITUDE whatsover. Who cares what you think. I for one DO NOT! The paper gives one a dvd, which if you read my question, requires just a simple answer. Should l have said it was the Financial Times just to have suited you? Wheres's "pukka" come into it or am l missing the joke here? Sorry ST, first bit was ok but chill out and get a life! Is it the only DVD, that doesn't play on your COMPUTER? Did you try DVD in question on another computer? Quote from: willythecat on August 04, 2009, 03:57:34 PM I DO NOT CARE FOR YOUR ATTITUDE Tough.
