ok, i will write everything i did & hopefully you guys can understand me & help me out...

i put a blank dvd-r in to my dvd drive & opened up nero disk speed to try to do a disk quality test, but the start button for the test was grey'd out so i went to benchmark & did that test.

everything started out fine, nero gradually went up the speeds on the 16x blank dvd-r & when it was about to go in to 16x the line on the graph went about halfway down(to about 6x) stayed there & then literally flat lined & my drive started making weird noises(sounded kind of like snoring...)

i pushed stop on the test & ejected the disk & found 2 marks on the purple side of it as if something had rubbed on it

ever since then my computer cant seem to read any disks, it seems like its trying but the dvd-r never comes up on My Computer

what just happened? my drive is the original that came with my dell, its a, PBDS DVD+-RW DH-16W1S 2D14, the disk i used was a TDK 16x dvd-r

any help would be great as i am really worried here
