My DVD drive has stoped working, after a format it now works.
My other comp's CD drive stopped again after a format now works
My dads had stoped, now works thanx to a format.
Just read another post about CD-DVD drives not working.

Anybody else?????
 
Disc drives tend to indiscriminately fail. My mom had got a Compaq with a CD and CDRW. After a few months the CD completely stopped working whilst the CDRW worked fine. I ended up formatting for her expecting it to fix the problem but it persisted. She hasn't bothered replacing it, at least the CDRW still works fine.
 
Same with mine, i cant b arsed to fix it so ive just said sod it, ill leave it untill the pc needs a good format. About anybody else with semi-terminal optical drive failure. :-|
 
Maybe its because there cheep they brake so easily. I have drives which arnt cheap and not expensive but just in the middle, lol, and they sometimes stop working but after a good format they then work again, can anybody explain this?
 
hehe..actually..its only faster in RPM...my HD (the slowest one) is 5400 RPM...the CD-rom is a 52x wich is something like 9000 RPM i think. I am not sure about the Mbps though.
