E drive does not respond when a dvd is inserted in vista ulimate whenever i insert dvd in dvd drive it is not reading what the problem as i have to insert certain program in my pc

formatting OS will surely solve the problem completely

It sounds like you are having the exact problem I am. I'm being told I need to replace the CDRW drive

since your System can detect your drive, that means the lens in your system is bad. replace it

you dvd player seems to be incompatable with vista

You can also verify the users manual. Mostly you can see some code in the CD-ROM like: DVD-RW= Can write CD and DVD DVD-R= Can only read DVD's CD-R= Can only read cd's. CD-RW- Can write CD's only.

Sounds like you have to Re-Install the software, or repair if possible

Control Panel > Add and Remove Programs (Programs and ?Features? in Vista)

Hi,

The laser carriage was stucked in one posistion, it works fine after I've manually release it.

Thanks

Try different discs to determine whether it's the disc or the drive. If it's the drive the the lens on drive might be dirty, try cleaning it with proper "Cleaning CD" if that doesn't help the drive it self might be going out (as in the mechanical parts on the drive). In the later case the only solution is buy a new drive.

i would say for some reason your dvd player is not compatible from now on with that brand of blank dvd!


get the firmware update from the brand website all you do is download the file burnit on a cd and put it in the dvd player should fix most and eventual problems
