    DVD RW suddenly stopped reading cd's and dvd's
    « on: April 05, 2008, 02:07:23 PM »
    I have windows vista operating program on my dell INSPIRON 6400, i'm not sure what the other things on the list mean or how to find them out  :-\ My DVD RW starts to read a disc sounding like normal until it suddenly seems to have difficulty reading the disc, and starts making grunting noises, so the computer doesn't recognise that there is a disk in the E drive. I thought that it may be due to a virus- checked and the computer was clean, i thought it may be something to do with the program that i was using to play the info on the disc with (windows media player and media direct- both of which came with the laptop) so i downloaded  VLC player on a friends hint, which didn't work either. IS my DVD RW broken/ not properly compatible with vista...... any suggestions from people will be gratefully accepted. Thank you :)
