Some CDs not mounting

[Gabriel Dragffy]

I said I have the same problem, and it's and internal DVD double layer burner 
too. I know it must be the hardware because when I boot into windows the same 
discs still fail although on a friends computer they're fine. Now I've bought 
a USB burner, cos it's too expensive to fix my laptop drive out of warranty 
(>£200).
