Hi I posted last week about a problem I was having with a black screen, the only way i can turn my comp on and have it start up is to open the dvd drive!! Along with that i cant get any of my films etc onto dvd like I used to. When I use nero it keeps coming up with a box saying incompatible videos? windows dvd maker still isn't working properly,keeps stopping saying its trying to find a solution to the problem. The only thing I took off is roxia cos i was told that may be affecting it but that hasn't worked. Please help. I don't know what to do.

Check the connections at the back of the DVD drive (with the PC off, of course!). Make sure power and data cables are pushed fully home. failing that, fit a new drive.
