This sounds like a failure of the transport mechanism. Your drive may require repair. At my former company we had an ATAPI Plextor CDROM that started to have errors. After an error, the LED on the drive would blink. We called Plextor and they recognized the error as a manufacturing defect. We sent the drive to them in Santa Clara and it was repaired within a few days. I suggest checking for blinking LEDs, and calling Plextor technical support. -jwb
