    News flash - CD/DVD drive gone again! Tested in another machine and the device is fine.

    Oh well, I can live without it and use a USB CD/DVD drive on this machine.

    I am convinced that it is the controller on the motherboard that fails. Every now and then it flickers some life just to lead us on to waste some more time on it!

    Well, that made me laugh. It's true though - just enough to make you think "I could figure this out" -
