Hello everyone. My DVD drive stopped working a few months ago. In that time, I didnt need it. Now the time has come for me to burn a CD and boot from it. That is why I now need my DVD drive to work.

Here are the details, that I know of.

The DVD drive once failed before, on a different version of windows I was running. Somehow I remember getting it to work long enough to reformat. When I reformatted, the Drive was working again, and now it has failed again.

Please advise. I am very thankful also, I would like to mention that.
