Laptop DVD-RW Problems

[Sleepy Giant]

Hi guys,

I have an Acer Travel Mate laptop with a DVD-RW that up until yesterday worked perfectly. Today for some reason it's decided that it is no longer capable of burning CD-Rs. I tried updating the driver but to no avail.

When I look under devices in the control panel, it tells me that it is a DVD-ROM. This is not the case....

Please help!!!!

If you live in the Tdot and it's still under warranty, take it to their depot. They have 4 HOUR turnaround time on notebooks.
