Has your drive read these CD's before Are they copies or originals? |

| 376819 | 2005-07-30 10:08:00 | It used to read music cd's and games, just normal ones... it's not doing it anymore. The one I am trying to use has worked before. Is there anyway to reformat you're computer without the disk? =P |

| 376820 | 2005-07-30 10:19:00 | Probably dead, they don't last forever unfortunately Could be a crook cable but unlikely Could have a dirty lens, try a cleaning CD or a quick squirt with some canned air Any chance you can try it in another machine before you toss it just to make sure it's the actual unit at fault? As for formatting without the CD, sure..just use a 98/ME boot floppy But you'll need the CDROM to reload windows though |
