My DVD drive just stopped burning and playing DVD movies.
Is still plays music cds, but it won't burn them.
I tried updating the drive but it's still not working.
I was thinking about opening up my computer and try to reinstall them, would that help?

**Vanden** · 08-02-2007, 09:07 AM

It would be easier to buy a new one it only 30 bucks...

**RoBz** · 08-02-2007, 09:10 AM

The driver?

**Louu** · 08-02-2007, 09:22 AM

I don't know since mine it's almost new.
I never used it.

**Vanden** · 08-02-2007, 10:06 AM

Wait is it a dvd burner or a just a dvd drive...

**Deturbanator** · 08-02-2007, 10:56 AM

update drivers:
right click my computer
properties
hardware
device manager
find your dvd drive in the list
right click it
update driver

**Louu** · 08-02-2007, 03:33 PM

both, it's a combo drive.

burns DVD/cds and plays DVDs.

I just tried updating the drive again and says there's no better match for the one I have.

**david12795** · 08-02-2007, 06:53 PM

Same thing happened to me. I couldn't fix it. Your better off buying an external dvd burner

**Louu** · 08-02-2007, 07:05 PM

I didn't even use it that much...

what's a good external DVD burner, for a cheap price?

Could it just be dirty? If I open up the computer to clean it up, would that help?

**androidkaita** · 08-02-2007, 07:10 PM

Happened to my old computer, and it had stopped working because I installed service pack 2, and my DVD Burner was not compatible with it

**Deturbanator** · 08-02-2007, 07:21 PM

if ur gonna buy something then just buy another internal drive...

Yeah that's probably why, is there a way to make it compartible with Service Pack 2? Perhaps if I upgrade to Vista or another type of XP?

**Vanden** · 08-02-2007, 08:07 PM

It kinda hard to believe that it not going to work with a service pack...

**androidkaita** · 08-02-2007, 09:47 PM

well its true......

**-chw42-** · 08-03-2007, 07:47 AM

Go to Tigerdirect.com and get an internal Liteon Lightscriber for 40 bucks. That's what I did. And if your computer is SATA compatible, get a SATA Liteon, it's even cheaper (around 32 bucks).

**Vanden** · 08-03-2007, 08:21 AM

Here a ok one for 28... If you wish.....

Cool thanks for the links,
that's LG looks pretty good and pretty cheap.
I should be able to burn about anything I want with that drive right?

**Vanden** · 08-03-2007, 11:35 AM
