Im running the upgrade to natty 64. My cd rom drive works when it wants to. when i put the disk in the system wont recognize it. so i just leave the disk in when i go to work. when i turn the comp back on 8-16 hrs later it will show up as ready to burn. i flashed back to windows and the drive wouldnt work at all, but on 10.04 it worked all the time. do you think that the drive is just being tempermental and is on its way out? or a kernel issue?
thanks in advance.

EDIT. ok so if i shut the comp off and turn it right back on with the medium left in it, it will recognize the disk. this will not work on a restart. any thoughts ?

Does a live CD work? If so, then it's not the Hard drive. Test it out and post an update.
