Dell Vostro 1400 laptop internal DVD writer not reading/writing DVDs..
My 4 year old Dell vostro 1400, a carryover from my son's college days, has stopped reading and writing DVDs, though it reads and writes the CDs perfectly.
I replaced the DVD drive with a new Optiarc internal DVD writer. This new Optiarc has worked for about six months and then again same problem not reading and writing DVDs only.
Is the problem with the DVD writer or with the laptop? I am apprehensive to replace the DVD writer again.
By the way the OS is Windows XP professional.
