Hi I’ve got a dell Vostro 430 with windows 7, it’s about 8 year old, two weeks ago the internal dvd which I use on a weekly basis suddenly stopped working, it would make noises like it was trying to spin up but never manage it so after deciding it was probably old age I bought an external usb3 portable DVD burner. It does exactly the same thing with one difference, it will play original dvds but shows exact same failiure to spin up with any RW DVD’s both +and -.
It gets stranger. About a year ago I did a clean install of windows on a new hard drive which is what is currently in the pc so thinking it must be a recent driver glitch or something I swapped it out for the old hard drive expecting the dvds to work but they don’t, both burners do exactly the same thing
Has anyone got any suggestions on cause
