Hey. Im on a toshiba equium M70. The drive is a crappy Matishita or something, cant remember the name, if thats really neccesary ill check. Right, i use daemon tools etc,and use virtual drives alot. Just in case that can help with the diagnosis. I also burn alot of cds. However, recently, whenever i put a cd or dvd in, autoplay and everythign comes up as normal, giving me options with nero and to just open up the disc in explorer. When i choose the latter option, it says "drive d is inaccesible. Incorrect function". Whenever i try to access the drive with explorer, that same message occurs. When i try to burn things to discs with Nero or anything else, i just get a "burn process failed" notice. Ive tried to uninstall all the IDE drivers etc, but it doesnt work. please help? If i reinstall windows it will probably work because it has happened before, but i cant do that right now. I need to burn some data too a disc urgently. Please help.
sure sound like something failing in that drive to me... as in hardware dying... especially if it has led a hard life.
