Even the CD/DVD drive doesn't recognize the discs. When I click on Drive E:, it tells me that I need to insert a disc, despite the fact that the disc is already in. Everything works fine and dandy in a cd player, though. There's an extra ring around the outer edge of the discs that I think may be causing the problem. I read somewhere that I could use a non-permanent Sharpie to black that out, but I'm rather hesitant to try that approach.
