Oh yeah, that was my first thought.

In fact I returned the drive to my retailer with that same thought process.

But, going through the same machinations led to the same results. So, it's
not the drive.

I want to believe it's a driver issue. But cannot find any corroborating
information.

It's possible that the drive is "broken". Is there any chance of your
trying it in another PC?

Sorry Mike, but it cannot read any media, period.

Not CDs factory burned or my burn, nor DVDs of similar.

The drive just below it works fine, and that can read CDs fine.
