Comp Having Dvd Problem - JASON 7 - 05-12-2006

A friend of mine had the same problem. His was fried as well. Hope it\'s not the case for you, but that\'s my experience with it.

If you have a bootable CD (such as a Windows install CD), try to boot off of it. If you can boot off of it, remove the CD, restart, and boot Windows into Safe mode (Hit F8 before the Windows splash screen appears). Try to access the drive from there. If that works, then something is hosing it up in Windows (normal mode), which gets more complicated since programs often fight for control (e.g. Roxio). In that event, if you\'re running Windows XP, you can restore to a previous save state before the problems started.
