Each PC has its own (internal) drive. No success so far. :-( |

David mentioned in his post that there are products to clean and polish the |
45 |
plastic surface (thanks David!) I can't see any significant scratches and I |
46 |
tried cleaning it with spirit to remove any grease or dirt from its surface. |
47 |
I will try to ask the person who gave it to me to use a different make of CD |
48 |
next time, but this could take some time. |
