The CD/DVD drive on my computer...... | Thread profile

....all the sudden my computer acts like I don't even have a CD/DVD drive at all. It used to ask what you wanted to do as soon as you put a disk in. Now it won't ask, and it also won't play from them at all. Anyone know how to fix this?

Can you access the drive from the "My Computer" screen? __________________________________ This post sponsored by the letters F & U

No, it's like it's just gone!

I have the same problem. It can still read CD's and all but it only reads DVDs once in a while... You should get a comp. tech to take a look at it...hence, I should do the same. The tooth fairy is to blame for prostitution; she taught us to sell our body for money.

Make sure you have the proper drivers for it. If you don't - download them. If you do - check the hardware. Wiring etc, so nothing has come loose or been worn out. If that's all good, then you'll need to buy a new one. Sometimes I wish I was a lesbian. Did I say that out loud?

I was hoping not to have to pay to get it fixed, but I guess I'll have to. Mine is not playing anything at all, and even the play or eject buttons on the keyboard don't do anything. Oh well...... I was really excited cuz I just got a Zune, but now I can't put CD's on there.

I agree. Check to see if you can get a driver update. The hardware shouldn't have anything to do with it though, since you should still be able to at least see the drive via the comps internal memory. __________________________________ This post sponsored by the letters F & U

I'm not so great when if comes to computers...what would it be called under My Computer?

It should be your D: or E: drive, most likely. The internal drive is usually C: __________________________________ This post sponsored by the letters F & U
