My Cd Rom and Cd R/WR dirves both quit at once. First an error message appeared saying i disconnected them appeared. Now they dont show up anywhere, not im my computer, my divice manager, Ive tried reloading Their drivers, ive tried adding them by adding new hardware, Ive tried troubleshooting them with the hardware wizzard. In the system records error log it shows records every 1/2 second for 10 min. that say:
Source: CdRom
Category: None
Event ID: 11
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\CdRom0
or
Source: CdRom
Category: None
Event ID: 7
The device, \Device\CdRom0, has had a bad block
Mostly the First one.
I dont know what to try next
