I have a problem with my Teac DW-28e (laptop drive)
Errors in Event Viewer:
The device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block.
Errors in My Computer:
if Cd recording(in properties) is enabled: it doesn't read the drive. When I click on the drive icon it shows nothing in the folder.

If cd recording is disabled it says:
"Disk is not formatted:Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with Windows."

I need serious help with this problem. This has been going for 5 motnhs-12 months now. When I got the laptop, the drive read all disks without problems and now it stopped reading all cds/dvds.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
