All was fine until...One time i wanted to play a game and the cd-rom wouldnt even look at the cd. I tried fixing it but it worked once and then stopped working again. It wont work in dos or windows, and it is a 40x drive.

Just last week I bought a new 40x, and it worked for two days, and went bad, so it can happen. Al
