After burning a scant number of DVD+R DL's here and there (some DVDs and some data), my iomega DVDRW drive now refuses to recognise anything BUT DVDs. It used to run CDs CDROMs, blah fine, now it gives them a couple of weak spins and gives up. I haven't changed ANYTHING though admittedly haven't run a CDROM in a while... but why would that break the damn thing!? Updating the firmware (and resetting, uninstalling/reinstalling, unplugging, updating software etc.) hasn't changed the situation except it makes the drive try a bit harder (makes slightly more noise and more attempts). Still only DVDs working. Could this be some evil effect of DVD Decrypter?
I seem to be developing a knack for knackering relatively new drives :(
