Strange dvdrom backup problem

lostintown

I'm hasving a bit of a bizarre problem with my dvd drive (LITE-ON SHM-165P6S).

Just recently I have been able to burn video files to disc but it won't read those files when Iput the disc back in. Other PCs can see them. My standalone can see them. But the f?"&^ng drive I burned them with can't!!

I usually use nero but have tried other software with no luck.

I have also updated drivers etc.

It's driving me mental!

Any suggestions or solutions?

This happened with my Asus, it was because the burner was dying

So, do you reckon that it's time for a new drive then?

I only bought the PC 6 months ago! :matrix:

Damn PC Specialist and all their kind!

Maybe they sold you a used one? I know fuckers here tend to do that :matrix:

Don't forget to check if you have any guarrantee for it :wink:

Many thanks for the quick reply.

I have cannibalised my old pc and saved the old drive.

Guess I'll stick to that.

Cheers
