Hello, I currently have a hp pavillion desktop that I have had for about a
year. About 4 months ago my internal DVD and CD-RW drives stopped reading
cd, but both could read DVDs. When I couldnt get past this I went and bought
an external DVD-RW drive. Well, today I went to play a DVD and all three of
my drives have completely stopped working. I uninstalled, unplugged,
reinstalled, and updated drivers for all of them, I have also plugged my
external into another PC and it works just fine. I'm a little annoyed at the
whole situation because when I click the troubleshoot option, my computer
tells me that it has no recources and I should do a windows update. I did
that and it still didnt help. PLEASE PLEASE, if anyone can help me it would
be greatly apreciated. Thank you.
