Sorry about that. I went into BIOS and inserted a blank DVD and it did the
same thing as win Windows: blinked roughly 25 times and then stopped
blinking. I also opened up the tower and changed the positions of the
DVD-ROM and DVD-RW drives just to see if anything different would happen,
but no. I seriously doubt that it is a hardware problem, because again,
this is a brand-new drive.
