Question : Problem: How to diagnose problem with CD/DVD drive?
The Samsung TSSTcorpCD/DVDW SH-S183A drive in my Vista PC is giving problems. It accepts a DVD and spins seemingly forever at high speed. Windows Explorer stops responding and eventually I have to manually eject the cd and end the process in Task Manager.
I have updated the firmware of the drive to the latest version SBO3 but htat has had no effect.
In Device manager there is nothing amiss. How can I diagnose whether this is a hardware problem of the drive or a software problem of the PC?
