DVD RW Drive wont read discs
« on: May 05, 2006, 07:49:39 AM »
My DVD RW drive has suddenly stopped working, only a couple of days ago I burnt a CD and it was fine. I have updated the driver, but still no luck.
Basically, the problem is that when I insert a disc the drive doesnt detect it, i've tried various brands of discs but nothing seems to work. I also tried setting the drive to write slower and faster, but that didnt work either.I tinkered with the properties for a while but that didnt seem to do anything.
Thanks for any help.

Use a CD cleaner in the drive.  It that doesn't fix it, you probably have a broken drive.
Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.
