Hello. I purchased a HP Pavillion a6120n PC about 3 months ago and my CD/DVD Rom drive suddenly stopped reading discs. I was in the middle of burning a cd and it stopped about halfway through. I tried to do it again with a different disc and it wouldn't read it. I then put an audio cd in and still no luck reading it. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Oh and im running Windows Vista if you need to know.

I would check with H-P for a replacement because i think they have a 1 year guarantee. Other than trying to reinstall the cdrom software i do not attempt mechanical repairing cd drives. Perhaps a cleaning CD would help, but it does not sound like it would. They are too cheap to spend any time trying to fix them. For $30 you can buy a new Lite-on DVD-RW drive. That is less than what i charge for one hours work on someones computer.

Thank you for the reply. Is there any other way I can try to fix this before I take this up with HP?
