What I meant was this : he could have played a game that used starforce many months ago then deinstalled the game but the starforce drivers would have been left behind on his system.
So sooner or later he would have had problems with dvd/cd burning.
Dvd/Cd burners acting in wierd ways, loosing performace in strange ways are almost always symptoms of a starforce driver in your system.
Sure its not 100% sure thats why I said 98%.
I think it is the DVD motor going. It was the same sympton I had with a dying DVD. No starforce on the machine. Just another avenue to look at. Knock on wood, I never did have an issue with Starforce and my drives.
