I tried to look around for answers but didn't find a fix for mine.
First, it opens up and closes properly.
Device Manager detects the thing and doesn't say it's not working or disabled.
The thing seems to be spinning (I see green light and the logo isn't in the same place when I reopen it)
Tried uninstalling the driver and restarting. Doesn't work.
Tried opening the box, depluging it and replug it in. Doesn't work.
Tried Microsoft's Fix It. Doesn't work.
This thing is actually really odd.
Ran various times.
When I tried to check burn, it says my DVD drive can't burn anything. My DVD drive is this one (From driver):
http://www.lg.com/uk/support-product/lg-GSA-H55N
and it clearly states it can burn stuff in the manual.
Also it says "Windows has attempted to open the CD/DVD drive for you" but the drive didn't open and I had to do it manually.
Any solutions? I bought parts for a new pc and was planning to keep this dvd-rom but doesn't seem to work. Bought a r9 270x from ebay and tested to see if the card works properly but it doesn't read the driver disc or any other DVD I have...
Edit:
I forgot, I'm on XP x86 and the thing was working previously. Don't know what's wrong all of a sudden.
Edit2:
Tried to go Safe mode but doesn't seem to be any different.
Edit3:
don't know if that's normal but I click on the DVD drive when there's nothing in and it doesn't tell me there is nothing in.
Last Edit:
Since there is no answers, I decided to order a new DVD-RW. Thank you to the people that read and tried to help.
