Somebody Please Help!!!
I recently bought a DVD writer from www.ebuyer.co.uk and it does not read/write DVDs or CDs. Is there anyway I could have set this up wrong or is it definately broken?
It is recognised by Windows XP and in My Computer it has the 'DVD-R Drive' but it just doesn't read or write. Thanks in Advance!

Sorry, I was half asleep.

Sorry, I tried Alcohol 120% and Nero. Neither work. When I insert a CD and go to open it Windows comes up with an I/O Error. The drive is a Primary Slave with another burner on as Secondary Slave. Tried taking Secondary slave out and still no luck.

Using Windows XP, thanks for the help!
