I was burning a data disc when suddenly there was an error during the burn. Afterward I couldn't burn my backup using dvd decryptor. Even worse I couldn't even read any media using the drive including cd and dvd data/audio disc. The disc drive still shows up in my computer and it still eject when i want to. But it just won't read and burn anything. I have try uninstalling the drive then restarting to get the drive reinstall. Then I gone BIO but the drive name is in there. The device manager said this device is working properly. HP DVD Writer 640b DVD/CD ROM drives I suspect it is broken and I may order a new drive. But before that PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM GOING CRAZY.
after endless hours of analysing I conclude the reason why my drive still shows up in my computer is because the laser is broken. Therefore I will get a new drive. So where can I get the cheapest drive that can read and write fast. any thing will be greatly appreciated
If you are in US check out http://newegg.com for UK see http://misco.co.uk They are good site for stuff like that. Look at brands such as LG,LiteOn or NEC. Get back to me with what you get
I have decided to get a Benq 1650v because I heard that it is one of the best burner and it is quite cheap compare to Benq 1655. I order mine for about 30 dollar at http://www.acortech.com/BENQ_16X_DV..._DVD_1650V_BLACK_RET/partinfo-id-3206555.html SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK OUT THE SITE AND SEE IF I AM GETTING THE REAL BENQ 1650 AND NOT SOME OTHER DRIVE THAT HAS SIMILAR NAMES.
