What sort of warranty is on the computer? If you haven't paid for it, I assume it's fairly new.

...That WOULD be a problem then, wouldn't it? Don't know what to tell you...

desktop!

For a desktop I'd say just replace the drive...
unless you know for sure that it's a software problem, not a problem with the drive itself. If there is a physical problem with the drive, just replace it. They're quite cheap unless you want a blu-ray drive. B)

DVD writer: $30, for example.

ok, I bought one, so how long does it take for that place to ship it and get here!!!

I'm not sure how their shipping times are. They're in my city so I've always just went there in person. I assume they ship to the USA though.

I posted that up to show for example how cheap DVD drives were. It was the first site that came to mind.

The addresses are all at the bottom of this page:

They have no American locations.

If you're in the USA, this isn't overseas. Canada is just above you folks, mate. B)

I get most of my computer stuff from Newegg. Hope your problem is quickly and easily solved.
