A mind of it's own!
I came here hoping the problem with my MSI CD-RW MS-8348 was simply a corrupted driver which I could re-download and I'd be smiling again!
Doh! So there are no drivers needed it seems (I have XP Pro as well).
Well, my drive seems to have a mind of it's own.
It will not always open when requested, either by pushing the now wobbly case button or asking windows to eject - though severe physical rovocation sometimes wins!lol
Then, when I manage to insert a blank cd, writing (usually with Nero) either jams part way through, or the cd has been 'written' to but remains blank!?!?
In short, the drive is unusable! Well, it reads cds, but I can do that in my other cd drive. It did work once upon a time, it seems to have been struck down with a mystery illness!
Is this a familiar story? If so, does anyone have any ideas not involving a hammer?lol
Cheers.
