My DVD drive, an NEC ND 6500A, has stopped reading any form of cd, will still
read DVD's though. It's happened before and the only way I could fix it was
to restore my computer back to when I knew it was working. It happened again
and when I tried to do a system restore my computer crashed, my keyboard
stopped working and I had to reinstall Windows from a backup copy I have on
DVD. Any help would be great I really am stumped.

You may need to update your burning software, have you lately..? Have you
ever tried updating the drives firmware..?
Is this your drive..?

Yea, that's my drive. Firmware is at version 2.24. I removed all my burning
software and still no luck. It just seemed to work one day and then not the
next, it's not a hardware thing because it's done it before and I "fixed" it
by restoring the system. Seems to be quite a common problem but people are
just being told to buy another drive.
