annoying thing is, on windows partition drive works without issue. think original linux drivers used drive must have been ubuntu installation installed without issue.

suspect going need buy new drive - checking excellent http://linuxhcl.com/ hardware page suitable replacement. worked treat when picking new wireless dongle..!

thought double check forums first hate wasting materials , adding drive land fill..

many many in advanced, , sorry has been while

suspect strange quirk on cheap oem dvd drive..
