My friend has a dell DVD-rom that is now 2 yrs old (don't know what brand they used). For a long time now, you have to keep putting in a disk over and over again until it suddenly acknowledges there is a disk in there.
This problem existed with windows ME and now still exists with win XP.
Put in a disk and the rom noise speeds up and the green light flashes --just like it should. But then..nothing happens (it does not recognize there is media in there).
there are no error messages in the event viewer nor device manager.
Is this drive toast??
TIA )
