My DVD disc drive wont burn anymore.....

[Guest]

For some reason I have stopped being able to copy files to CD - whenever I
try to copy to a cd/dvd the message keeps coming up that there is no disc in
the drive when there is.....

CAN ANYONE SHED ANY LIGHT ON THIS PROBLEM??? I would be ever so greatful, as
it is currently preventing backups of my digital pics.

THANKS!

It is a hardware related issue. Have you tried one of the cleaner disks
because sometimes the laser lens gets dirty. Have you made sure that the
cables are solidly connected because sometimes they work themselves loose.
