Hi all.
I have an Acer 12x8x32 cdrw in my computer. I have not used it for several months. Recently I decided I'd like to burn some cd's off. I plugged the cd burner in (it is an internal drive). The cd burner will not work. I put a music cd in the drive and it will not read the cd at all. It does have power as the light on the front of the burner does come on. It does show up as Drive E: under my computer as well. When I put a disc in, the "disk in" light comes on, but it does not read the cd.
Is there anything I can try to get this cdr working, or is it time for the trash bin? I have not used the cdrw that much and it should not be dead already! Course I have the worst luck getting these things to EVER work right anyway. Grrr.
