My DVD drive wont recognise any of my disk any more , why
is this it worked fine before now it just says pleese
instert a disk into the drive,its not the disk because i
have tried it on my friends computer and it works so why
wont my pc recognise it.
 
Recently I had a problem with my cd-rom not reading disks
in Windows. After much troubleshooting and swearing the
drive righted itself just yesterday. My best advice is
give it a week.
 
I bought a Dell PC in 2000. Over the last 4-6 weeks, I have been
unable to get either CD's or DVD's to work. I don't have Windows XP; I
have Windows 98. When I insert a CD or DVD into the slot intended for
that purpose, I hear faint noises for a few seconds, as if it's about
to start playing, and then it stops, and absolutely nothing happens.
Whatever the problem is, I don't think it is limited to Windows XP.
Can anyone help?
