I was recently burning a CD using nero burn with my 52x Sony Burner and my computer completely froze during the burn process. Once I restarted my computer I realized that the drive wouldn't read any cds. Could have the burner been damaged because of my computer freezing? What can I do to fix it or is it unfixable?

Since your computer froze during the burn process and you had to restart I would suspect that the drivers for your CD-RW are corrupted. Have you checked Device Manager to see if the device is working properly and that they're are/aren't any yellow exclamation marks? You can always uninstall the device, have Windows find it again so it can reload all of the drivers.

Another question: does the drive doesn't read CDs in Nero or in Windows Explorer? If it's the former I would reinstall Nero as I find that fixes the issue. If it's the latter then I would follow my advice above.
