Combo drives have two lasers, one for CDs and one for DVDs. You can try a

drive cleaner on it but most probably the CD laser has died. Just replace

the drive.

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.

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.

the reving means it can't read the disc....so either the disc is bad or

your drive is dead/starting to die

My drive does that. I have to start the software first. Then put the

CD/DVD in the drive.

Is it any CD or just CD-R discs. If the latter, then the CD laser has died.

Surprisingly, CD-RWs and CD-ROMs are generally read using the DVD laser.
