Anyway, something bad happened to my computer today, and obviously, my first thought was the above script, which I installed yesterday.
(BTW, it works brilliantly - this is about one of those little things, which was driving me crazy, and as I always say, won't be fixed by M$ in my life time).
So, I just started burning CD, and all of sudden CDBurnerXP stops with an error about incorrect disk in my drive.
Bad disk, I think. I took another one. Computer won't even recognize it. Vista spits it out: "Insert disk", it says.
What the heck?
Windows Explorer sees drive, as well, as Disk Management, but computer won't recognize any kind of CD, or DVD.
My first thought - the above script messed something up. But wait, I installed script yesterday, used drive whole last night, and today. It can't be.
Today, I installed some Avery label maker, so I got rid of it. No help.
Uninstalled/reinstalled drive. No help.
Uninstalled/reinstalled ATA Chennels. No help.
Grabbed ERUNT.
I went back to this morning. Nothing.
Yesterday. Nothing.
Obviously, the drive went south, but I didn't want to admit it, because it was only 1 year old. It can't be. Apparently, it can.
Trip to the store to get a new one.
On my way, I started recalling little things, which should have told me, that something was going wrong with the drive.
1. Autoplay stopped working. I fixed it through registry hack, and forgot about it.
2. For some time, it stopped reading disks burned by itself. It read any other CD, or DVD, but not recently burned. Those were read fine in standalone players.
3. Ripping, and burning was taking more, and more time.
I wrote all the above, just so it may help someone else in the future.
In any case, I got new LG DVD burner with all possible options for $50.
