Yesterday I was having no problems with my DVD/CD burner. It's been running fine for 8 months (as of yesterday). Sometime during the day today my power went out (for a change) for about 3 minutes. When it came back up and I rebooted I found my dvd/cd burner won't read anything. At reboot, light comes on and I can hear it start to spin up but it stops after a few seconds then idles. My second bay burner is still fine. I received the 'recoverd from a serious error message' and forwarded to MS which suggests the 'updated driver' causing the problem which I haven't installed (since there isn't one). I've uninstalled-reinstalled through device manager, updated my firmware, there is no driver update and I'm at a COMPLETE loss as to what's causing the problem and any possible solution. Any ideas? I'm contemplating reinstalling XP but would rather avoid that if at all possible since I have no idea if that would even help since I don't know the culprit. Thanks for any help anyone may be able to offer. I'm baffled.
