While burning some CDs in iTunes on my two year old DVD-RW drive (NEC model ND-3550A), iTunes reported that an "error [had] occurred while attempting to burn a disc." Before this error message popped up, I had successfully burned at least five or six discs over the previous hour.
My drive is listed in Device Manager with no errors, but in Windows Explorer I get a "Please insert a disc" message when I double-click the drive to view the files on a full, working CD.
I've deleted the drive and reinstalled it, but I still get a "Please insert a disc" message every time that I try to view the drive. Obviously, iTunes still refuses to burn to blank discs, as it tells me to "insert a blank disc."
How can I confirm that my drive is dead?
Also, if I need to replace it, I would like to get a DVD burner that also plays Blu-Ray discs. Any suggestions on that front in the sub-$100 area?
Thanks!
