I have a compaq notebook with installed DVDplayer/CD RW with it, and I have power DVD player and Nero CD burner. In the beginning,
I can watch DVD and I can burn my pictures ( images) into any CD with it.
But After 5-6 months , I cant burn CD nor read any of my previous burnt CD ( to view my older pictures) no longer, even though I still able to watch DVD
What suprises me is , when I insert any CD in it ,empty or written ( outside DVD), the properties it shows is : 0
( it not showing the CD's statistics, nor memory in it, as if there's no CD at all inside the device )
It's a Samsung DVD/CD RW.
Anybody can help my problem? is it a software problems? or what?
thanks so much guys :)

Get a cleaning CD and run that a couple of times. If your problem does not clear up then the drive itself may be bad.
