dvd/cd-rw doesn't respond

[zdalez]

I get the message -- "can't read disc, possibly corrupted or incorrectly
formatted", but it says that no matter what disc I use, and I've not had
trouble with any of these in the past. If I try to use an audio disc it
reads -- "insert disc" when it's is already in. Any suggestions?

Try your discs in another system. Perhaps your drive has died.

Might be time to replace that drive.

Shit DOES happen.

You forgot to add: get out of your chair, turn around two times to the
left and then once to the right and sit back down.
