DVD R/W Drive Runs Software but Not DVDs
Last response: in Windows 7
This just started acting up. If I stick software disk in drive, like I just installed TurboTax, runs AutoPlay, give me install prompts. Tried burning a DVD today using ImgBurn (done it at least 100 times) today, get error, No media in drive. Tried playing a store bought DVD Movie, drive will not regognize. Device manager says its working fine with the most current driver. Thoughts? Thanks!

Hello garywi,
Welcome to Forums!
Suggetions:
1. Uninstall the driver in Device Manager and Restart the computer - let Windows reinstall the driver for this drive.
2. Try FixIt
3. This is a bit of hassle - try to test this drive on another PC
4. Drive Laser might have gone weak - weak lasers would sometimes read a CD/DVD and won't detect other
Hope this gets resolved - Good luck and Happy New Year!!
