Thanks. My drive is about 10 years old and has been having issues reading commercial discs lately. My PC is also about 10 years old. I know I have cheap discs but haven't had issues before. Thanks again. Can you recommend an external burner for me? Do blue-ray burners also burn DVD and CD's? I'd like to get one of those.
