Hi guangdian,From what you said...It "sounds like" your CD/DVD burner is going "bad". Maybe not..it could also be the driver files..if they got corrupted somehow.Check out the troubleshooting charts in the "Beginners section" at my website to get help with the problem. If you need more help.. post back here with what you found out & to get more input.Hope this helpsRGPHNX

i think it's worthless to try to fix it --- buy a decent new one.

I currently have the same problem, i have tried opening up the computer and cleaning out the dust. I have tried using a "claener for the lens. I have also tried different DVD's nothing seams to work. I am going to have to say that our DVD burner are probably shot. almost worthlesss.
