GCE 8527B whenever i try to run a cd on my drive it shows it is trying to read but neither does it autoplay nor does it run the cd.though it can read audio cds sometimes

If you are trying to install Norton from a CD/DVD, insert the CD/DVD into your CD/DVD drive.

If the autoplay option shows up automatically, click on "run ****.exe from the CD/DVD" and it will start installing Norton. Now, during the installation, you must follow the on-screen instructions.

If the autoplay doesn't show up, open your computer, right click over the CD/DVD drive and click on "Open Autoplay". Select "run ****.exe from the CD/DVD" and Installation will now start.

If you want to install Norton from a downloaded copy, double-click over the downloaded package (****.exe) and follow the on-screen instructions.

Hope this helps, Mrityunjay.

Try navigating to Start Button/ My Computer/, then Double-click the CD or DVD drive. If no CD or DVD drive shows up in My Computer, there is a problem with the drive. if no disc shows up in the Drive, it is a problem with reading the media.

it's a cd driver & writer not a dvd player
So get yourself a DVD RW drive
Hmm take ASUS or SOny

Try and update the firmware of your CD R/W Drive and this should sort your problem out

If the drive is not working then it will need to be replaced. Check to see if the door opens & lights come on after loading a disc. If they do then it is more likely a driver issue. You can try to uninstall the drive in device manager and then reboot to see if Windows identifies the drive and installs the driver. If the drive is dead then replace with a compatible drive. Hope this helps.

Hi there, as per your information the device working well. But not read CDs. So i suggest you install a CD/DVD Reader or rewriter software.
Because, with out the software your DVD/CD device can't able to read CDs. You can use Nero Express software for solving your problem.
Thanks & waiting for your feedback.

have you tried device manager and right clicking to update driver and allowing internet access

One possible source of difficulty is there are different blanks for "slow" recorders (1x - 4x), "high speed" recorders (4x-10x), "ultra speed" recorders (12x-24x), and "ultra speed +" recorders. The disc manufacturers had to change the way the discs were made to accommodate each successive improvement, so older recorders don't work with the newer disks.
It is possible for some 4x-capable "slow" drives to use the "fast" blanks with a firmware upgrade, but there is no advantage to doing so since you're still limited to 4x recording (unless, of course, you're unable to find "slow" CD-RW blanks).
CD-RW discs for the faster drives are labeled with a "High Speed", "Ultra Speed", or "Ultra Speed +" logos. Make sure you buy the right blanks for your drive.

i cnt run my dvd rom drive but only cd.disk
