No i havenet checked to see if the drive works in another computer but it worked in my computer for more than a year and all of the sudden i cant write CDs. It doesnt even have a recording tab when i go to the properties on that drive. i tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it didnt help either?
PSU = power supply unit. I'd say there is a possibility your drive has died, at least for recording cds. A simple CD writer is very inexpensive and an upgrade to a DVD reader/CD writer or DVD writer is not much more expensive.
