greetings to all, this is my first time so please forgive any mistakes. recently my pc which runs on windows xp decided that my goldstar ced 80808 cd writer was no longer a cd writer but a reader only, at the same time my norton anti-virus decided that it could no longer perform scans. this all happened at the time i got hit by a virus, which has been dealt with. are they connected, is there any hope, can i fix my pc?
