My CD/DVD combo drive is behaving erratically. It's unable to read CD/DVDs - whether recordable, re-writtable or original music cds. When I place a Cd in the drive the light flashes a few times, you can hear the cd spin for a short while and it goes quiet. Nothing happens. When you click the CD drive icon, you're asked if you want to format the blank disk. Obviously the drive recognises there is a cd but just can read it. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
