Recently I made a new build and originally installed Windows XP as was having Windows 7 installation errors and such, with Windows XP I was fine and could use my DVD drive perfectly fine, upon finally being able to install Windows 7 my DVD drive has completely ceased working.
It worked perfectly fine with Windows XP and before I installed Windows 7 I could run disks and my drive had no problem recognising disks, now any disks that are used with my drive do not work at all and when I try to open them from My Computer the disk tray ejects and tells me, "Please Insert a Disc into Drive K:"
I've tried changing the path, using the Windows own DVD drive checker (which told me a fat load of nothing really, just that my DVD drive doesn't support the disk, though it has before and has just ceased to with Windows 7's installation) I've also tried recalibrating the laser by holding eject from boot. I'm stuck fast with ideas on how to fix the drive and I'd rather not buy a new drive if it's just because of the OS having a hissy fit with it.
If you could help in any way at all then I would be most appreciative. Thank you.
