Somebody please lock the other thread!

How old is your drive? Post a screen shot of your task manager with applications arranged in descending order of CPU usage!

I guess its time to say RIP for your drive! Its has served you well, time to get a new one!
My Sony died of a similar fate after 4 years for loyalty!

i had called the shopkeeper ,he also said drive is gone .... :-|

so my drive is dead?? which one should i get now sony again or samsung/Lg??

You need luck not brand to get a problem free drive. Most of the drives I have been using have developed tray problems once they have crossed the warranty period. I have tried Sony, Samsung, LiteOn. I will suggest just get a drive from any brand having SATA port & maybe 22X DVD recording speed. That's enough. Getting a lightscribe drive is pointless due to media availability.

Try LG.....It served me and many of my friends(actually all of my friends) well......!!

All LG DVD Writers are now SATA.

Try it......I'm sure u will b satisfied....!!

u can still use a pin putting in pinhole of drive to open the drive in case of emergency
or there is always an option to open it from windows as u says it works
or u can give it for repairs
or go get a new one for u for just 1.1k or so

But be warned that insert pin into the pinhole only when the drive is not in power mode i.e computer is off. This is a nuisance & will not come to rescue in case you wish to burn a CD/DVD.

1. That is weird. Could you disconnect the optical drive and check the 100% CPU usage..?

2. Also disconnect all optical drive connectors and put them back again.

But please do (1) first, and report back the usage. It should not be there, 100% always. There could some other issue...

^Like a virus.

^
Yea, that worries me more, then the drive not working. Weird, no one saw it.

H

That's why i asked for a screen shot of the task manager! But never got it! :cry:

^^ Oh ya...sorry missed it Storm.

Instead Punjabi, gave us a large diagnostic dump. What is it..???

after i cleaned up the dust , disconnects and reconnects the cables....cpu performance is idle again(load not more than30-35% now normally below than said)...that's why i haven't posted any screen shot regarding this..,...map be dust is causing this.....

so finally it's time to replace dvd writer.....

^^
Is the drive issue resolved..though...?

ok...so now is ur problem solved

ya kind of cpu is fine.......dvd i hav to buy...thinking of samsung..

i dont think samsung is a gud choise try if u get LG
im using it since over a yr. now with no problems of lens getting weak or tray etc

H

Sony DRU-7420S or Samsung SH223F or something. Both cost similar around 1.1k. With the Sony one a bit more than Samsung!

is it ide or sata ?? which is better......??
previous drive was also sony's.....so i should stick to same brand...or try other...like lg which would be long lasting...(name models)??

No LG please. Stick to any brand. Doesn't matter much. Both are SATA. IDE's are long gone!

Why not LG?
If he's gonna buy "any brand" why not LG?

Brands does not matter. I would advice to look for a brand whose service center is in ur city (but, u r not listening)...
And visit a temple b4 buying the drive :lol:

^Lol.

Just look around and you would see the people facing issues with LG. LG has high failure rates. Sony and Samsung are other two predominant brands in India. So he can go for either of them!

SONY is fine.

I look around me to find sony and samsung drives failing too just about some months after expiry of one year warranty. Both me and my friend are using LG drives and no probs.

Nor Sony nor Samsung nor LG. Go with ASUS. It is recommended by some people & I too haven't seen an ASUS drive failing

I vote for LG. I'm using it. And I recommended it to all my friends. Both me and my friends hav never faced any prblms so far.

SONY:
But I burn ~2 discs in a year.. he he.....!

ok...
drive is reading cd/dvd's but not writing....i week before the problem i hv installed xp with same dvd drive......,,so is there some dirty lens problem,,,?/

^ I don't think cleaning will help. It might be that your drive is now dead. My friend too has similar problem.
