DVD DRIVE WONT READ ANYTHING

AFTER CLONING A DVD TO MY PC AND WRITING THE DVD FILE TO A BLANK TDK DVD+R DISC, MY E DRIVE WON'T READ ANY DVD THAT I PUT IN THE DRIVES. THE E DRIVE LIGHT IS FLASHING NON-STOP AND TRYING TO READ, BUT WON'T. I TRY TO CLONE A DVD AND MY CLONE PROGRAM SAYS THAT THERE ISN'T ANY MEDIA IN THE DRIVE. ANY TIPS??

I have the same problem, only when I tried to burn an ISO it messed up BOTH of my DVD drives (both were daisy-chained to the same IDE cable). I thought maybe it messed up the motherboard, so I bought an external USB to IDE case and tried my burner on my work laptop via USB and had the same problem, even after upgrading the firmware. This seems to be an example of a hardware virus of some sort.
