You can try a drive cleaner on it but most probably the CD laser has died. Just replace the drive. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ
Guest MT Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 DVD drive revs up and down but won't show files I have a DVD drive made by Top Glory Electronics and it is a model DX-DVDR100. It reads DVDs and CDRW discs. The problem I have with it is that when I insert a CD, it just revs up and down and it won't display any of the files that are in it. If anyone can help me resolve this problem, thanks in advance for your help. MT PS: If you need any info on my operating system, I have Windows XP SP2, 735 mhz processor, 496mb RAM memory
Guest thecreator Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Re: DVD drive revs up and down but won't show files Hi MT, If you can add more memory, but not needed for your problem. Just clean the CD or DVD disk and also clean your Drive. http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/349424/Maxell-CD-340-CD-DVD-x/ http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/946995/DISC-CLEAN-SOLUTION/ -- thecreator "MT" <trumbo72@gmail.com> wrote in message news:D5ack.11198$1I.10608@bignews4.bellsouth.net... > > I have a DVD drive made by Top Glory Electronics and it is a model > DX-DVDR100.

Guest TechGuru Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Re: DVD drive revs up and down but won't show files the reving means it can't read the disc....so either the disc is bad or your drive is dead/starting to die MT wrote: > I have a DVD drive made by Top Glory Electronics and it is a model > DX-DVDR100.

If the latter, then the CD laser has died. Surprisingly, CD-RWs and CD-ROMs are generally read using the DVD laser.

Which software? -- I eats KFC and Ugly earwax balls and dwarf rabbit liver vinegar accentuated by fecal live rat embryos and humpback whale bowels marinade, simmered in a randomly twitching cup overflowing with watery particles of bamboo in pungent bone marrow gravy, a side of ratfish rectum carcinoma and a bottle of pus.
