| 106608 | 2002-12-16 19:30:00 | Looks like the 2 year old cd rom drive has had it.Is it worth buying another cd writer drive,as I already have one which is nearly a year old?Hardly used at all for games.Win ME. | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 106609 | 2002-12-16 19:36:00 | Hey Your currently using a CDWriter as your CDRom drive?- as it's only a year old it still may be under warranty - find out Are there any lights or sounds coming from the drive, as my first suspicion would be a loose power cable coming from the drive to the computer CyberChuck |

| 106610 | 2002-12-16 20:24:00 | I would get a dvd drive myself. They're cheap enough. I don't seen any point in getting a second CDRW though. | crozier (2004) | ||
| 106611 | 2002-12-16 20:24:00 | I agree with CyberChuck, check the cables and the warranty, but a new one is only about $120 All up with Nero 5! Check Pricespy.co.nz | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 106612 | 2002-12-17 00:12:00 | Wondered that myself,crozier.Might look into that,but is there any use for DVD yet? Have just bought a standalone one for the TV. | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 106613 | 2002-12-17 00:15:00 | Thanks guys,but it's not the cd writer thats given up.And the cd rom drive drawer opens,and the light flashes,but it wont shut! :_| | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 106614 | 2002-12-17 01:44:00 | Apart from movies some software is available on DVD and some magazine cover disks. The price is now comparable to cd drives, a tad over $100 on http://www.pricespy.co.nz |

| 106615 | 2002-12-17 01:49:00 | AND THE QUALITY! If you've seen a DVD, The quality compared to a standard Video is amazing! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 106616 | 2002-12-17 07:35:00 | Are you saying that your CD-ROM drive has had hardly any use and now it's packed up? Don't leave it at that -- one year warranty or not, take it back where you got it from and tell them CD-ROM drives should last a heck of a lot longer than that. Why, mine has had a good thrashing and it's still running sweet after 4½ years *touchwood*. Nothing ventured, nothing gained - it's worth a try. |

| 106617 | 2002-12-17 21:04:00 | So your CD-ROM has Died but your CD Writer is still fine. Then just use the CD Writer, it will work just as good as any CD-ROM. Why spend $100 if you don't have too. | NathanTheKind (472) | ||
