    I have backed up several old games, such as starcraft...and when i pop them into either my cd/rw/dvdrom drive or the cd drive....they will not read, and if they do, it says theres nothing on them. please help. also, on the cdrw/dvdrom drive, when i put in warcraft 3 it just doesnt read at all. works fine on the other drive.

    i remember now...it stopped working after i did a firmware upgrade (i got the latest version at the site), and after that it doesnt recognize anything...even copyrighted cds! I tried switching back to the original firmware, but nothing happened, the problems were still there. suggestions?

    New (replacement) one, may not solve your problem. It could be your firmware update has gone wrong. Bazza
