I'm setting up a new PC with Ubuntu, for another family member, and the CD/DVD drive seems to be failing. When I insert a Data CD (ISO or other files) it reads quickly, but when I insert a CD or DVD (Music/Video) it makes ticking noises and can't seem to read the disk. I also have a second CD only drive, that can read CDs and write CDs, but not dvds. This is on Hardy 8.04 on an older (2 years) dell. Thanks, TDJACR.
