i think the technical term for this 'fookered'.

Buy a new one. Sorry.

Agreed. DVD drives are dead cheap now and easy enough to change, even if you've never installed / changed any hardware in your pc before.

Yep. I had a reasonably new DVD writer, messed around with new DVD writing software and it went the same way as yours. Only £30 for a new one these days, replaced it and had no problems since.

As stated above, the hassle free option would be to spend another £30 and just replace the buggered drive

Is the drive in question even a writer? That model name would indicate that it was just a ROM. A ROM drive can be picked up for about £10 (seen cheaper, but probably rubbish).

Are you sure you haven't mixed up the DVD drive with the onboard cupholder?

I had a simular problem and it turned out Alc 120% virtual drive was causing the problem,once i uninstalled the prog the problem was solved! It might be the Roxio doing this,so try uninstalling!
