| 674471 | 2008-06-01 06:14:00 | Yes I did the right click thing and there was nothing, with it saying DVD on the front of the drive surely that would mean its DVD drive?? its about 18mos old | toodles (13818) | ||
| 674472 | 2008-06-01 06:18:00 | Yeah it's a DVD drive. Get someone to take a look at it to confirm, but in my humble opinion it's stuffed. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 674473 | 2008-06-01 06:23:00 | And new ones are really cheap. So if the drive is stuffed, it'll only cost you around $40-$50 to get it fixed. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 674474 | 2008-06-01 06:54:00 | I've got a stuffed dvd drive which also generally doesn't notice dvd discs. Leaving the dvd in the drive and restarting windows generally (but not always) works. Where can you get a decent dvd drive for $40-$50? I'd like to follow that up. Are they DVD- RW? |

| 674475 | 2008-06-01 07:04:00 | You could try and flash the drive, Otherwise as Bletch says, Your best option is to replace it. A quick look at qmb shows DVD writers starting from $35, Plus GST. |

If you want to write to DVD-RW, you'll need a DVD burner, not just a DVD . Which only reads / plays DVD, it doesnt write / burn to DVD But this DVD will play DVD-RW |
