Burner won't recognize anything!

Grimulus · 02-05-2007, 05:28 PM

My Samsung DVD drive won't recognize things if I put in media of any type. I just get either the "CD-Rom" or "DVD-Ram" when looking in My Computer. If I try to right click to explore it, My Computer locks up and doesn't respond.

I can reboot the machine and the disk will be recognized, but when I run the disk it will not spin to install/play what's on it.

Again, I've used burned and retailed versions of CD/DVDs. It just started having this problem last night. Worked for a month previously.
I also tried uninstalling the device to let Windows reinstall with no luck.

What in the world is happening?

I already fixed it. I just replaced the IDE cable and it worked fine. I really liked that black Asus cable too.

Oh well, works just the same with an ugly grey one.
