Andrew Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Download the drivers if you can. Although I've never downloaded or installed drivers for a cd-rom before.Maybe try a linux live cd (or liveusb) and see if it recognizes and works with the cd-rom? If that doesn't work then maybe a cord came loose, or more likely the drive failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Can you still see the drive, just not use the write function of it. Or does the hardware manager on your computer fail to display the device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
