DVD writer icon is not displayed in the ‘My Computer’ window. At times when it is displayed, I can’t access it. If I try to explore any CD/DVD, the computer hangs up or freezes. This also happens when writing a DVD. In short, the DVD writer is nearly useless but I need to use it quite often.
Either your DVD writer is faulty or the cables connecting the DVD writer to the motherboard need to be replaced. Try changing the cable to check if it works. There could also be a problem with your operating system. Use a Live Linux operating system such as Ubuntu or Knoppix to find out. Boot from the live CD/DVD and check if it works properly. If the drive works in Linux, then your Windows operating system needs to be repaired. If Windows is fun, your writer needs to be repaired or replaced. To be sure, you can also try using the writer on another computer to find out if the fault is in the writer, operating system, motherboard, or the cables.
The IDE cables connecting the DVD writer to the motherboard should be checked for damage.
