My Computer will not recognize dvds or cds, says: insert disc or access denied.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

What is the exact error message?

[robert08]

D:/  is not accessible access is denied.

[robert08]

that is what it says

Do you by any chance have more than one user on your computer?

[robert08]

no it is just me

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

I'm still doing some searching of my own, but I have few questions.

Can you play Music CD's?
What happens if you try to access the CD via My Computer?

[robert08]

I just tried it again and now it says: no disc in Drive d.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Even if you have a disc in there?

[robert08]

yes, even if I have a dvd or cd in there, it is like there is some kind of confusion within. Even if it is a music cd or any kind of disc.

[robert08]

It is always the same response, even if I access through my computer.

[robert08]

I just had something very interesting happen.  I just downloaded a free trial of Powerdvd and when I put a dvd in, guess what?  the box came up saying no disc in drive d.  Now this is getting weird.

Do you by any chance have a lense cleaner?

Also, I found this topic.

It seems like an identical problem, but I am not sure.

I actually have to go for a while, so see what you can do.

Good Luck!

[robert08]

I don't have a lense cleanser

[robert08]

I see, LOL! thanks for putting up with me mate. I did read through the thread and tried  some things, but to no avail.

Then, same as Broni, I am out of ideas. 

I wonder, can your BIOS be doing this?

If you go into the BIOS Setup, just have a look through and see if you can find anything related the CD Drive.
