I purchased a Gateway notebook (MX6214) about a year ago and I've been having problems with the cd/dvd drive. It wont read disks, especially program disks. It just grinds and whines. Every once in a while it will read a cd or dvd but when it does it's slow and still has problems. I tried reinstalling windows but the drive won't even read the windows disk to boot from it. I updated the driver and my pc claims it's working properly. Any suggestions? Thank you.
