Please excuse me if I have the wrong forum for this problem.

My DVD burner is not reading any DVD's. Had burned a DVD data disk, checked it and everything was fine. Put another disk in to get another file and it did not read and left a circular scratch on the disk. Tried other disks that were not important and nothing is being read. Also tried some old program disks to see if they would come up. nothing.

I have heard a noise when I place the disk into the tower.

All suggestions are appreciated. The DVD/CD burner is about 6 months old.
