- I have an optical drive which was operating poorly and apparently
- botched my two disks. I tried cleaning the drive (with the NeXT kit)
- but I do not know if the cleaning worked, since both disks are bad.
-
- When I put one in, if it doesn't spit it out immediately, the machine
- says it needs to be initialized. All goes fine, for a while, then I start
- getting read and write errors, and the machine says it couldn't write the
- disk`s label.
-
- Does it sound like the media is bad or is the drive still bad? Can an
- optical drive permanently disable an optical disk?
-
- Please respond via email. I have to go through all sorts of contortions
- to read the NeXT groups at Drexel.
-
- Thanks.
