I am trying to use my external dvd burner (less than a month old) and it said a driver unsuccessfully installing because it is unplugged when it is not. Device: USB TO IDE.

It now won't read any disk. I right-click it in Computer, click Eject and it ejects normally but when I put any DVD or CD in it, it just does not come up.
When I open it, it just shows the background-busy cursor and then the normal one.
It is broken after I just brought it.

It dosen't work on any computer. I tried cleaning its laser, cleaning the disks and reinstalling the drivers. It is plug and play.
