I tried to burn a DVD movie the other day... When I got to around 10% my DVD-RW Drive make a horrible loud and very strange sound... After that day the drive dosen't work... If I put in a CD or DVD nothing happens... Dosen't matter if it's a blank CD / DVD or one with movies / Programs on it... THe drive just wont read anything... Did that ever happen to you? Do you think I can do anything about it?

I think that is time for you to shop for another one. Anyway, DVD-RW drive is really cheap now, so you can buy one for 20 to 30$. Why trying to repair it when it's so cheap to get another one ?

I agree. DVD burners are cheap and easy to replace.

True, but it's not more than 4 or 5 months old :-( Crappy HP drive... I want a Lite-On.
