Laser burnt out maybe? How old is it?
You sure that didnt cause the drive to have problems too? you tried different types of CD's etc like CD-R and CD+R etc as I have one drive that refuses to use the one type for some reason :S
see the thing is i cant remmber if the drive was replaced but im sure it was cuz i had to get my HDD replaced too so the cd drive would of been working when XP was reinstalled, it doesnt read anydisks, but the light flashes when it trys to read one
Hmm, does it show the disk in My Computer, or does it just show up as what it would be with no disk in there?
Sounds like it might well be the laser that has gone then if the light and everything works on there.
it just shows the normal icon tis strange cuz it cant be that old
