RW DVD/CD

[Guest kofc.1]

Hi,

My laptop has a DVD/CD problem. It will play music and movies on CD but It

does not recognise DVDs at all anymore. Not from Media player, DVD programs

or Nero. How do I reinstall or repair the driver or tell me what settings I

need to change.

Thank you

It's my understanding that a combo Dvd/CD drive has two separate

lenses. One for Dvd. One for CD. You may have a

flaky or failed Dvd lense. It has nothing to do with the driver.

Check directly on the manufacturers website. They will have the bios

(probably newer) and whatever it takes to install it, they often have

programs to test their own drives.

Or he could possibly consider doing a System Restore back to when it was

working ok. But if that was long ago, that's probably not such a good

idea.
