ok, my emprex dvd burner has decided to go total failure on me. it happened after I attemtped to write a dvd (data dvd) in linux. the first indication of a problem was when I received a fatal error during write (the operation aborted and I was left with a coaster). after that point, I was no longer able to read or write ANY media whatsoever. I have since sent a message to the tech support folks and emprex.com (probably won't hear back from them until monday). is there a possibility that cdrecord (the pro-dvd version) could have damaged the device? anyone happen to know how to recover this device? any other suggestions that don't involve my spending money I *don't* have?
