    Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any Software or Hardware that you installed or setup.

    I have NOT made any chnges, since purchase. Just started... trbleshooter, for the E: drive, would be helpful.

    The situation, at present, dictates buying a NEW CD/RW drv, to see if that corrects it.
