Problems with Samsung Combo drive
Hello,
I have a Samsung 52X 24X 52X 16X Combo drive. Although it still reads DVDs (play movies), it recently lost the ability to read normal CDR or music CDs. The drive's light blinks a few times when trying to read or write data before giving out. Has anyone had this experience before? It does seem odd that it can still read DVDs. Shane |

Not with a Samsung, but my original Plextor 708A did the exact same thing. It refused to read/write to CDRs, but would still read/write DVDs. |

I have the same problem (in reverse) with a LG GCC-4320B: it reads CDs fine,
burns CD-R no problem, but nothing happens when I insert a DVD-ROM inside. Question: could you get your drive fixed or did you have to file it neatly in file-13?

I have sent it back to the store I bought it from as the drive is still
under warranty. I should hear something from them in a couple of weeks. Shane "no spam" wrote in message ...
