On 1 brand the cd drive recognises I have a cd in the drive but won't write to it. The other brand isn't even recognised by the writer. I have tried 3 different writing programs. I have written many times on this drive before. What could be wrong?	Ironman (3784)

237721	2004-05-20 13:33:00	Thanks for your help. That may be right. I have had the computer only 18 months though, although I have written with it a lot. How can I test it. Is ther a program or do I take it to a reapair place?	Ironman (3784)
