Recently my father (no internet) has a mysterious problem with his DVD
burner. While burning an audio CD (from his own WAV files) he got an
error
in Nero 'operation aborted' or something of the likes.
After rebooting computer and trying again, the Sony DVD writer doesn't
seem
to burn, nor recognize media (blanks nor with content) anymore.
The other drive, a Liteon CD player also doesn't recognize media
anymore.
Looking under devices in Windows 2000 there are no warning icons, and
both
drives show up. Under properties the text indicates that the devices are
working properly.
During boot up of the computer, both drives are still recognized in the
BIOS.
I'm at a loss...

Any ideas what's going on?

There's a good chance that the drives have simply failed.


I think it is very unlikely for two drives to break down simultaneously...



If you can boot
the computer from a DOS floppy, test the drives in that environment to see
if
they still work.


That's another idea I'm going to try.
