I have been having problems with my Sony DVD-RW Burner (DRU540A) on-and-off for over a year now. When I first got it last August, everything worked great. However, around January (6 months), it just crapped out on me - stopped recognizing any disks in that drive, was unable to back anything up, etc... I changed the IDE cables and updated the Firmware, like Sony suggested, but to no avail. You could hear the drive spinning, but it would always wind up hanging up, and displaying a small CD icon in place of the hourglass. I eventually sent it back and they replaced it, and without having to do anything new, the new burner worked fine. But now, here I am another 6 months in and I am beginning to have problems again. Again, I am getting the CD icon, and disks aren't recognized in the E: drive. I again switched the IDE cables, but nothing worked. The only difference is that this time, it appears I am able to back up DVDs, but not able to backup CDs. I tried using Nero (the software that came with it and previously worked), but also tried two other programs that still didn't work.
Any suggestions, other than fighting with Sony about getting yet a second replacement??
Thanks~
