Heya, I have laptop, using Windows XP home and this problem started to appear more recently : When in windows and I put in the drive original DVD movie disc or blank CD for burning, the PC just froze, the drive disappears and even with reboots I cant get the drive back. Curently i am without this drive and even multiple reboots or resets of the system didnt help. I checked the drives internalt what I could acces (Because the screws in laptop are impossible to unscrew.. damn company) and nothing seemed wrong, no cables loose.
Thanks a lot for help
Summary : Internal combo drive Disappears from system Wont load up back even with drivers POWER works in - it opens up and reads the CD/DVD but it Wont appear in the system. PC is scanned against spyware,starforce and has Firewall and antivirus Running Windows XP

- Problem solved (temporarily) :
Leave laptop without a connecter power supply for a while, cool it down (really.. put it to cold room or outside or even refrigator if humidity is low tho that is extreme case).
I found this solution randomly.. when I took my laptop on travel through country by bus it was left outside on a cold wind for a while without power supply so my conclusion comes above.
1. uninstall dvd/cd using device manager reboot and winxp will reinstall driver
2. go to my computer / dvd drive / right click / properties / hardware - roll back or update & properties - enable digital cd audio / recording - enable cd recording
3. do system restore start / all programs / accessories / system tools / system restore
4. do full system recovery - us windows xp OS

I was trying to burn a cd off of itunes but it wouldn't work on my laptop (for a whole different reason, i think) so i went through a load of programs to try and solve the problem, some of them going through and fixing 'problems' well now i have he cd, off of someone elses computer but now it won't read any disk i put in whether it's a dvd, cd or blank cd. it makes a real little amount of vibration at first but nothing happens. this hasn't happened before... ugh annoying haha. i've tried my comp and looking if there's anything wrong with the drive but it says it's working properly. it's not though as it won't read any disk. i don't know what else to do...

I'm facing a problem with my combo drive in my laptop. When i tried to burn the CD using the Nero, Nero log shows 100% sucessfully burned. After that it checks for data verification, the system looks hanged. I tried to burn the CD without data verification option. The nero log shows that 100% sucessfully burned. But when i check the CD, no data is burned . Pl provide me the support for the same. regards vishnu
