:|:frown: Ok, this is making me mad. When I first got this drive nearly a year ago it worked fine. It came without any drivers and such and worked very well. After about 6 months though it quit on me. It will not read DVDs or some CD-R's and RW's. It won't even read some of my new music cd's and games that I have bought. Does anyone know if this is a hardware issue or driver issue. I would imagine a hardware issue. Please respond with any ideas or thoughts, or even better resolutions. Thanks for your time and efforts.
