DVD burner probleme

[PhilA]

I guess this may be related to utorrent indirectly, but now my DVD burner refuses to read DVD-R or CD-R! It is supposed to read all formats, and always did till recently. What the blue blazes is going on here?! Anyone?

lol.. its more than likely hardware.

buy a new one.. their pretty darn cheap.

the only software i know of to damage optical drives would be starforce.. i ended up smashing the bejeebus out of a really nice 109d due to their ring 0 drivers. or a dodgey firmware update.

options:

-try it in another machine, might be fine it that. (if it IS, try a reinstall)

-sell it on ebay, buy a new one.

-redeem great pleasure in smashing the living **** out of it with a hammer, and buy a new one.

if all else fails, try loads and loads of alcohol..

Ehm... I'm not seeing how this is even indirectly related to µTorrent... *moved to Chat forum*

I have the same problem! Before I downloaded uTorrent I used to always burn CD's/DVD's with my DVD burner! NOW It doesn't even recognise that its there! I double click on my DVD drive and it reads "Please insert disk into DVD Drive E:/".

I think we may have the same problem. My DVD drive is from an Compact Presario WindowsME.

Maybee it MAY be uTorrent, or our DVD drives are just both broken... BUT I can read CD-ROMs and DVDs fine, just blank ones I have trouble reading. Anyone know a solution?

If you're not running µTorrent at the time you're having DVD burner problems...then I don't see how µTorrent's even possibly at fault.
