That's why I wasn't sure if it was driver based or not, since I did put Windows on it, and the "failing" DVDs were able to be read. Worse, the warrantee specifies that if I install anything over the WinXP that the laptop came with, my hardware warrantee is void. The service people had it for a month, because of a DVD drive failure, I only got it back a week ago. But the drive they put in isn't exactly the same as the one that was in it before. The lens configuration is different. But, like I said, if I cannot get it to fail in Windows then I just have to put up and shut up. The Microsoft OEM stranglehold must be broken!
