Hi Laurenleighd

Have a look at your CD/DVD drive and you will see a small pin hole that about the size of a needle. You can take a straightened paperclip and push it in there to open the CD dirve manualy. After you've removed it, try another CD that you know is working and see if you have the same problem. If this CD also get stuck in there then we know the CD/DVD ROM may be faulty.

Is this a Dell Laptop or Desktop?
Can you open and close the Drive with or without anything inside it?
Can you hear any noise coming from CD/DVD ROM when you insert a CD?
What Happens when you insert any other CDs or DVDs that you know is working fine?

When you open your MY Computer/Computer in the Start Menu, Can you see the drive there, or is it not showing the CD dirve there at all?
If the you are 100% sure this is not a power issue, then it might be the CD/DVD driver that needs to be re-installed.

Hope this helps

Ok if your for certain thats the original dvd drive and the other games work then its too many scratches on the disc or your laser lens needs wiped off with qtip and rubbing alcohol.


If you get an xbox thats say play dvd all the time on every game and it says to play this disc stick in a xbox 360 console then its the wrong dvd drive for that motherboard and you wont get the key (on a chip in the motherboard on the cd drive) unless you have the original dvd drive taken out of your xbox. Then you can just switch that little motherboard on the bottom of the dvd drives and it will read games. This is for those who will look at this with a xbox off ebay that they cant figure out how to fix. Its just an expensive dvd player.

I would assume the dvd player encrypted the drive so you could not copy the movies from your dvd player to your computer, so you could not burn them to prevent piracy. If you wanted to use the hard drive in your computer you will need to format the drive.

Sir,
Try to reinstall the drive with other good working condition system. It will be worked, the drive is fine. Also go to the manufacturers Website, and pick up a set of new firmware, or drivers for the drive, and then reinstall then over the old broken ones.

Thanks Good luck

check the Dvd or CD room.. the connection, reading lens,

or the cd room board


.. you try another cd/dvd room to check

thanks

This is quite easily, cause by ONE reason. The thing is, the lens is very very dirty, or had broken, try to replaec it if u can, or try cleaning it with cotton.

hi mate, i fixed it this way

right click on my computer > manage > disk management > (box bottom right you should see the rest of the drive space unalocated) click the unalocated drive box > create partition > the rest is history.

hope this helps mate.

Got one here. Please remove the battery and power laptop on ac only. Please press the power button for 10 seconds until it turns on then immediately press on the F12 key. Release F12 upon seeing the boot selection menu. Please select the CD/DVD drive. Follow the rest of the instructions until the Recovery to the Out of the Box State. Hope this helps. Thank you.
