Does this sound like a SecuROM side effect?
angelyne:
There is no doubt that SecuRom, or indeed any DRM are from the devil, but I seriously doubt it would do anything to the DVD firmware. It's a nice story but highly unlikely. Every model has different firmware.
However, I have often heard of DRM messing up CD/DVD players. But it messes with Windows. Wiping Windows should get rid of the problem. Are you formating (and better, deleting your partiton) before installing?
And it might also be that your drive malfunctioned all on it's own.
And people, before you go all gun ho and re-format, remember the handy system restore function. It's especially useful to save your butt when something you have just installed messes up your system, or you get some malware or virus infection.

Yes and no, I've had variable success with system restore in the past, I wouldn't rely solely on that as a tool to keep you out of trouble. I've had the thing trash a system before.

Eh, if "reformat" was plan B anyway, trashing the system seems like a minor concern.
witch:
It certainly became Plan B very quickly. :D

Reformat is less work for me than System Restore.
