Hi Mohan, No one else has asked this question so...
How old is the drive and does it work with a different OS? I have had them die so they will read either DVDs or CDs but not both. It seems they use different hardware for each; substitution with a working drive has always resolved this issue :). Other than this I have never met a drive Linux wouldn't read "out of the box", and I've met some weird s*#t. This is a real issue with multi-standard drives, verified by moving the drive to other machines and other OSs, updating firmware etc. Some drives have been less than 2 years old. Cheers, Graham.
