Hello,
I was burning a DVD today and it stopped at 3% and basically froze, i waited awhile because the red light was still flashing. now my dvd-rw drive wont read anything, no cds or dvd. Is this something that can be fixed/explained or did my drive just die, after i bought it two months ago. seriously, this makes no sense. i really fucking want to hurt somebody! what can i do. please help!!
First things first, do the basics such as try a cleaning disk to clean anything that might cause a problem on it's laser and a different USB port on your PC if available. If it is an external, also try it on another PC, (friends, etc.,) just to rule out a possible USB issue with the external case. But if it is less then two months old, hopefully its still under warranty if you have to return it.
