DVD Burner Drive problem
My external DVD burning drive was working fine the other day as a matter of
fact I had burned 3 DVD's but when I tried to burn the 4th one my computer still detected the burning drive but my burning program (ImgBurn) didn't detect the DVD media. Does this sound like maybe the laser went bad in the drive. -- Walt |

DVD Burner Drive problem
Hi,
Could just be a dust-clogged lens. I would try a cleaner disk before spending any money on a replacement. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Walter Goldschmidt" wrote in message ...

Hi Walt,
Then you are likely correct and have failed drive. I would disconnect it and try it on another machine to rule out a software issue. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Walter Goldschmidt" wrote in message ...
