First you need to check your DVD rom drivers if it is detected in the Device manager window, Just click on Start , Control Panel, System then Device manager there you can check the list of all your devices.
- In Device Manager look for DVD/CD-rom drives click the arrow or plus sign on the left to show he sub Menu.
- Check to see if there are any Marks such as question marks, Exclamation Points or Red X's.
- Hopefully there are none of any, if there is try uninstalling the driver then restart the machine it should automatically reinstall the DVD/CD-rom.
- Now to get the not reading error, Click on Start, then on the Start Search Bar type on REGEDIT then press enter.
- This will open the Registry Editor Window.
- In the Registry Window follow this key path = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Once the dvd/cd-rom appears a list on the Right pane window will show, on the list looke for upper and lower filters then delete both then close the registry window then restart you computer.
This should help restore you DVD/CCD-rom back to a reading state.
Have a nice day,

Did this just happen recently? Have you recently installed a new software in your computer? because sometimes when you installed a new software that is not compatible with the software installed in your computer conflict may arise and malfunction may follow but no worries there are a lot of trouble shooting steps you can do to fix this issue, you can either do system restore or delete the upper and lower filter in your computer.
To delete upper and lower filter follow the steps below:
1) Close all open programs
2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter
3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
* SYSTEM
* CurrentControlSet
* Control
* Class
* {4D36E965-E325-11CE-
BFC1-08002BE10318}
4) This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.
* UpperFilters
* LowerFilters
* UpperFilters.bak
* LowerFilters.bak
5) If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete
6) After deleting the keys, close the Registry Editor
7) Reboot your computer
8) Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that the yellow exclamation and error code on the CD or DVD drive is gone
I hope this information will be helpful. Thank you for using FixYa!
Your Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Burner came with a disc
the disc will have a burning program and drivers. as for the cables you will have either an ide cable or a sata cable the ide cable will be wide with alot of pins.
Put a Canon printer install software CD in the CD
that cover comes of and there will be a small hole for manual eject. you will need to use a paper clip (after you bend it straight) and insert it in the hole and keep pushing the paper clip till the cd starts coming out. hope this helps.
The computer is not recognizing
Do you have the latest drivers downloaded which make the pc recognize the device? Have you gone to add/remove hardware and install or locate the device there?
You can also go to control panel, performance & maintenance and then system, then device manager and see if you can view anything here. There is also a hardware profile setting you can check here.
Optiarc rW 7170S does not read CD
do it only if u r a professional..
open it up, with the lens assembly there is a small preset, turn it
using a screw driver a little anti-clockwise..clean the lens with clean
cotton using isopropyl alcohol..
if not done, replace the lens assembly..
or else, replace the drive with a standby n see..
i gotta know: is ur drive pata/sata and the device make n model..
assuming that ur drive is pata, n u r a professional n aware of bios/cmos setup utility handling..!!
open
up ur system cabinet and see if all the data cables n jumper settings
at the back of the drives (master/slave selection)..itz most
important..!!
however, at the bootup (0.29sec) start pressing
briskly the key to enter cmos utility or bios setup (eg. F1/F2/F10/Del
as applicable)..glance in the standard settings if r detected
individually..change the 'Mode' if m/b is hybrid type(both SATA+PATA) :
Native/Compatible/Enhanced (as applicable)..
see if ur device needs any additional driver or not, if so try downloading..
also try checking itz data cable for loose or faulty..
above all explanation is applicable only if itz not being detected by the m/b or system..(not for reading or writing problem)..
contact ur system admin/vendor....

WHY MY DVD-RAM CANNOT READ DVD
you have it set in RAM mode, which is it is being operated as a extra hard drive. you will need a optional software/driver package (if your pc/laptop) don't have it already, in order to set it back to cd/dvd mode. incidently, that software/driver is hard to come by.
look for as "dvd-ram driver download"...
Driver
Hello,
Is this a windows XP or Vista unit? You are getting that because either the driver is still not installed or you have installed an incompatible driver for your CDROM.
Nero problem
You should reinstall your nero software and DVD/ Writer should be on master and CD rom shoul be slave. Then it will work at all.
Thank You
Program nero
heres a link to a site where most all nero programs are available along with valid key codes and instructions to insure it works without fail. please note that you will have to download a torrent file loader such as lime wire frostwire kazza but i prefer to use azerius now known as vuze. the programs are free forever and require nothing to install. once installed go to the link provided and click on the nero program best suited for your needs then click download torrent. click save in the first 2 pop up boxes and then open on the 3rd. the 3rd one will automatically run the program youve installed and beging your software download.by default the vuze software places the file in a folder in my document in another folder called azerius downloads.
