Nice to hear that it was the mechanical dust situation that affects these drives the most radther than an electronic glitch. Quick fix, but I still prefer to do it myself so it can be visually inspected rather than relying on a disc cleaning system to get the debris out. That may work on some lenses, but those with the small rim on the laser lens doesn't allow the cleaning media from a commercial cleaning disc to get to the outer edge of the lens and some debris remains. Manually cleaning the lens gets all of the debris.

In any event, glad that things are resolved.

I had this happen on my laptop once and I tried everything. Every...thing. Cleaning the drive, cleaning the disks, virus scans, playing with the slave/master settings, whew!

Eventually, what I wound up doing was uninstalling the drive completely and then shutting down the system.

When the computer came back online, it saw the drive as new hardware, and then reinstalled it.

Worked fine.

I have had software issues cause this problem but it is generally a dirty lens.
