DVD drive trouble.

[rajpoot]

Oh right! I see. I crave pardon for what I spoke unwittingly in my ignorance. I bow to the two lord mod of this sub-forum
Actually I'm backing up my family videos, you know, taken over years, I just keep saving them on my hard disk, so it's a bit over 22 GB now. I don't have any external drive of that capacity.
I'll be grateful if you could tell me what do you diagnose the problem to be.
