Re: CDRW drive that won't

First, are the connections secure? Otherwise, do you have a unit you can swap in? These things do die from time to time.

Anyone seen this before?

The CDRW drive in my laptop is no longer being recognized as write capable.

If I put a blank CD in the drive, the system reacts as usual and pops up the
CD utility to ask what I want to do with it.  However, it doesn't matter
what option I select, the drive is not recognized as write capable.  I've
tried two different CD burning programs and both behave the same.

Any suggestions?
