Comment:
my "cd writer plus" drive runs intermittantly (often concurrant with a hang), doesn't show up in My Computer, and is not detected by cd writing programs on my computer. couple these problems with occassional threats of "system failure immanent" and "unstable" warnings (that have cleared up some since i followed burzurq.com's Me advice)and i'm more than a little put out. can anyone help?
