I have CDspace ( A virtual CDrom drive program) installed, but it hasn't given any trouble before. It is a MITSUMI CR-48X5TE drive and I have Windows ME. The amber light on the front of the drive blinks furiously when I put a disc in. |

| 486549 | 2006-09-22 00:17:00 | sounds like its stuffed. not worth fixing, simly replace the cd rom. cd burners are only a few $ more ;) | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 486550 | 2006-09-22 00:19:00 | Useally the cost for repair useally far outways the cost of buying a new one. You could try a head cleaning disk in it. Trevor :) |

| 486552 | 2006-09-22 04:59:00 | This happened to me with my DVD reader/CD burner. I replaced it for $77 and got a DVD-RAM burner! :D | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 486553 | 2006-09-22 05:49:00 | Since how cheap CD-R or CRW are I would not bother to buy a head cleaning kit. I would probably get a DVD Writer. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 486554 | 2006-09-22 06:06:00 | Well I have an old, well not that old CD burner thats sitting in a box doing nothing. I dont need it now and apparently does near 1:1 cop... erm it copies really well. | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
