Well, as I said earlier, I'm not trying to, nor do I have any interest in
burning CD's or DVD's, I just want it to READ the discs, so I can play my
games, lol. But yes you may be right in that it probably is shot. My friend
also mentioned this to me as a possibility. So I guess I'm goint to have to
get a new one ; ) Thanks to everybody who replied and tried to help me out,
it was greatly apreciated.
