I recently purchased a laptop. In the begining the rewriter worked perfectly. Then it would take a while to read the cds but it would still play them. However, the laptop no longer reads the cds and will crash if i put one in. It will however read and play a dvd perfectly.
HELP PLEEZ!

You must have support options then. Call the help desk and tell them the drive makes a vibrating noise (kinda like hockey cards in bicycle spokes). They should send you a new drive. DVD laser systems are different and much more complex than a standard CDROM dur to the leyering of data on a DVD. Once slightly out of alignment or case possible misaligned, you will have problems reading disks, even if only CDROM's when DVD's are fine.

NOTE: make sure DMA is enabled, check with the manufacturer
