Dead CD-Rom drives (Score 1)

I took me 2 dead CD-Rom drive to notice the problem... While trying to use a rescue distro (systemrescuecd.org), I got 2 CD-Rom 48X drives CRD-8480B sent burning in hell :/ The removal of the Packet-writing patch, on a newer version fixed the problem. But I agree, LG has to fix the problem as no software should be able to kill some hardware (not talking about firmware though).
