Hello,

I have a PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1210A [CD-ROM drive]
that doesn't work.

I put a cd in the slot, but it makes a sound similar to
what you hear when you play a 45 at 33rpm (sloooow), only in
short "bursts".  I know the disk is good because it plays
in the other cd drive.  The yellow indicator on the front of the
drive slot flashes twice, then repeats as long as there's a disk
in it.  Previously, I've used it as both a writable and readable drive.

Can someone please help me fix this?  Is it possible there's
another disk jammed in there?

According to Device Manager, Review devices by Type, "this device
is working properly", but it sure doesn't seem like it to me.  Win98se.

Thanks tons,
Diane
