optical drive doesn't work

Marshyboy · Apr 18, 2013

In one pc the drive worked but when I put it in another one it doesn't read any discs. I dont know why.

Did you install the drivers for it in the new machine?

not cause I don't have a disk to do so

I have yet to find an optical drive that required a driver other that the windows driver. Is it recognized in the bios? Try booting to a bootable disc to test it outside the OS. If that works try this fix. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

A disc you can boot to. Windows discs are bootable for example.
