    i wasnt sure whether to put this in the game section, since the problem only happens with games, or the hardware section...

    basically, my disk drive wont recognize or open game disks. it will recognize and play CD's and DVD's, but whenever i put in a PC game disk, it doesnt open anything, and when i go through My Computer and click on the drive to run it, it asks me if i want to reformat this "blank disk". any idea what's goin on here? i really wanna play this new 18 WoS
