CD Burner Problems.

Asked by MrMontpetit (1843points) December 18th, 2008

Hey Fluther. I’ve been having some problems with my CD Burner in my computer. It is also a DVD player, but is reeeeeeeaaaallllly old. So basically I just tried to burn a CD, it said burning failed, I kind of figured it would say that, because I can’t even play DVDs on it. I can’t find any drives for it either. But now the big problem is… it won’t even open! I can’t even get my blank CD out of my computer! It’s not in use by anything, it’s not trying to burn anything on to it, my drive just WON’T OPEN. Has this happened to anyone before? What did you do to fix it? Is there a “force open drive” option where on my computer? (I’m on Windows XP SP3 and the drive model is LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-4836K, I’m not very tech savvy, but that’s what it says in my Device Manager under DVD/CD-Rom Drives.)
