> unable to read any CD or DVD. Its detected in device manager but cant ready media.
Can you hear it "spinning" the media? If not, you have a "defective" unit (motors or bearings).
If it spins, but nothing is read, then you have a "defective" unit (dead laser).
Take it back to where you bought it, and get them to test it, to prove that it is "bad", and then for them to replace it.

> in Hardware details it shows HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GH24NS50 SCSI CDROM Device.
Normal for most SATA devices.
> it shows as HT-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8526B ATA device.
Perfectly normal.

this may happen as your DVD reader's lance may got weak. plz check for the same and replace lance if problem exist.

sure ...just look for the driver on your laptop site ..and reinstall it ...this should fix the problem ..if not ...restoring the OS or reinstalling it will fix it too

first of all check that ur laptop is not infected by viruses,because sometimes it happens due to virus...
make sure that the DVD you r trying to run is scratch free....ans is clean...

I read over the solution to the problem by deleting the lower keys in the registry,,restarted and it works fine again,,thank you.
The 1st time I tried it, there was now upper or lower keys because i had uninstalled the driver 1st.

Try running System Restore to a day just before this failed. It's a software issue according to other forum posts elsewhere.

i have the same probleme and i want a solution plz
