What is the difference between sata DVD writer and pata DVD writer?
Differences between PATA and SATA hardrive are most visible in regards to the cables. A PATA hard drive has what is called a ribbon cable which is kind of big compared to the small SATA cable. The PATA ribbon cable has 40 pins that connect to the hard drive and/or motherboard whereas the SATA cable only has 7 pins allowing for the computer as a whole to be much cooler due to more empty space inside it for air to flow more freely. Also, I believe that the SATA drives are faster than IDE or PATA, especially if it is a SATA III which can transfer at speeds up to 6 gbs/per second.

What should i do when my CD drive won't open?
If you are using a laptop, there should be a small pin-sized hole near the switch of the opening device... you can use simply a paper-clip to open this up. Before you do so, shut down your computer for safety reasons... never stick anything into a live computer. When you put the paper-clip into the CD Drive, press down a bit and pull the paper-clip towards you. This should release the lock and open the CD Drive. Good luck!

You could just throw it in your garbage and think nothing else of it. Better and more ecofriendly alternatives are donating it or selling it if it still works.

To my knowledge, all Best Buys will take old electronics off your hands and handle them in a responsible manner.
Is the Instant Internet Income DVD by Jim Sheridan Scam or Legitimate?
Not having much experience with the name or product your discussing I will give some advice of wisdom.

I would also check rippoffreport.com as well to find any complaints against the company offering their services.

It could be that the writing lens is dirty. You can try a DVD drive cleaning kit.
