can you read from the drive? if so, then the burning head is bust. if not, then the whole thing is bust and you'll need a new drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim McAuslan To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2012 3:30 PM Subject: [access-uk] cd rom drive not recognised Hi List, Don't know why but all of a sudden my cd rom drive seems not to be working. I was burning some files onto a cd and when I tried to do it again it suddenly stopped working. Every cd I put into the drive nothing happens. Any suggested solutions?
