    My DVD-RW Drive Has Crapped Out On Writing
    « on: June 25, 2008, 08:23:44 PM »
    Hello. I keep trying to burn a cd and its always worked before. I dont understand but it gives me a read error everytime. I have tried four different programs now. I have a celeron m 1.6 ghz processor. 1 gig ram. I really dont know what else to do and you guys have helped me immensely with previous virus problems. By the way my DVD drive is a matshita. Thanks for reading

    Is it with the one DVD or all DVD's?

      Can it read any disc?

      Try going to the manufacturer's website and reinstalling the drivers for the CD Drive.

        It reads discs no problem. Should I still try to reinstall the driver?
