Help with DVD/CD Drive needed ASAP!!
« on: September 05, 2008, 04:58:46 PM »
Hi all I have a dvd/cd drive that seems to operate properly by opening and closing and vista says it is working properly however I can not get it to read the cd's.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

Try one of these:
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
or...
2. http://aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip
or...
3. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstal. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.
