Bloody thing. I wanted to burn a couple of CD's today, but all of a sudden the DVD/CD burner decides it ONLY likes DVDs. Gaaaah!

Malware check, patch check, driver reinstall, restart, reboot, nothing. Dammitall, I really don't have time to spend two days reinstalling Windows and rebuilding the f***ing thing.

Just noticed that Media Player is crapping out. Right, off to fix that in case it's demise has crippled the drive... I just love linked effects. Also known as chains-of-disaster.

£^$*(&%^£%$"&^&&*(()!!!!!!!! Not a happy bunny.

And I have the dentists at 17:20. Oh joy.

I had a system crash four years ago, that's about it. Damned things just work.

Known issue with this marque of rebranded Lite-On laptop drive.

Invested in an external burner (branded as double the speed of the old drive - actually four times faster in use), after some entertainment trying to find one locally as the netbook kids seem to have cornered the market down my way.

Here we go again. New and old burners acting up, will read not write. Strongly suspect a glitch with Roxio, as a previous error mysteriously disappeared when I upgraded to Creator 2009.

Muddaf***ers. Two hours wasted, and now Roxio UK support are closed.
