Major DVD Burner Issues
Hi,
Some of you might know of my problem with my DVD burner. Let me tell you and explain the situation and problem in full.
When in Windows 7 on my system specs computer, when I insert any disks, empty or not, most of them appear as if nothing was inserted. Although its strange, any disc with data does not show, but only a few empty DVD's showed up... I tried burning data to it, but then I cannot see it anymore. When trying to use the BIOS to boot up the Windows 7 retail disc, it fails, just keeps trying for 5 minutes then just moves on to boot up the OS on the Internal HDD. I have also tried booting up an Ubuntu 10.10 CD, which also results in the same issue. I then tried loading Ubuntu 11.04 from a USB stick, and then inserted the Ubuntu 10.10 CD. It worked and showed up. I then tried inserting the Windows 7 DVD, but nothing showed up. I also tried inserting some empty DVD's which, if I recall correctly, most showed up. This is driving me nuts as I need to use the DVD reader to install OS's, boot up Ubuntu, install games, app's ect...
Help and suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Slasher
