How to Troubleshoot Issues with Reading CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD Discs

Otherwise, it may very well be a hardware problem. Swap out the drive

for a known-working one. If that takes care of the issue, your optical

drive has probably died. You can test it by putting it into another

computer (you don't have to actually install it, just connect it). If it

doesn't work on the other computer you know for sure it should be discarded.

 

Drives don't last forever and, assuming this is a desktop, they are

inexpensive to replace.

Many CD drives have a change switch within them (particularly laptop

drives). When you close the drawer, the switch causes the drive to signal

to Windows that the disk has been changed (or just inserted). If the switch

dies, the drive will never signal.

 

Not all drives feature this. Most (but not all) desktop drives don't

because they can pick the disk change up from the motorised drawer.

Sounds like a dead, or dying drive.

 

I've had several drives that are still detected by bios and windows but do

nothing when you insert a disk.

 

If you listen to the drive can you hear the disk spin up when you insert it?

 

Try several disks, burned and pressed variety.
