    For some reason my drive won't read CD-R's anymore. It just sits there and constantly tries to read it. It also won't read my Nero disk but it reads Battlefield 2 just fine. Anyone have a clue as to what might cause this?

    Might want to try deleting the ide drivers. Windows will install them when rebooted.

    In Device Manager it says HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20L. No idea who makes it.

    Just tried that and nothing. When I double click the drive icon it says put a cd in even when there is one in it. Hopefully its not dead, it reads some things.
