Among the computers that I husband I have two CD writers that no longer write.
One won't touch CR-RW and fails after a few hundred megabytes on CD-W claiming dirty disk, etc etc. This unit has a few years on it but has had little use.
The other appears to write CD-RW but trashes the disk. This unit, in a Dell, has only been used for recording for 18 months or so, and only once a week for maybe fifty megabytes each time.
The offending drive here at home will read CDs OK. IIRC, the one at the other location will as well.
Any suggestions?
