I put in a dvd/rw disc and it will not read it. in My Computer it comes up as a blank disc (cd)
Make sure the discs you are using are compatible with your drive. Some drives will burn dvd - r discs but not dvd + r discs. Hope this helps.

My cd/dvd player do not open cd or dvd automatically and I must go to my computer to open up the cd or dvd. Sometimes it ask if I want to format the cd even if it is an original
Your DVD player does not recognize the format that is put into the disc and so does not read.
When it is put into the PC , it might ask for formatting but is not possible when it is a only read disc.
So check the format you have recorded to be acceptable to the player .

I have an NEC NR-7900A DVD/CD-ROM drive. I put in a DVD+R disc and got msg to insert a disc into Drive D. I now figure that I can use CD-R and CD-RW discs. What about DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. I'm just...
The reason your DVD R was not read- is the drive is a CD-RW, meaning it can read CD, CD R, and CD RW disks- NOT DVD, DVD R, DVD RW

CD/DVD Is Not Recognized
spacer.gif spacer.gif spacer.gif spacer.gif Many times, after inserting a disc into the CD or DVD drive, the disc is not recognized by that drive. CD-read and DVD-read issues can be caused by many sources. Perform the procedures presented in this General Computer Advice article when troubleshooting CD-read and DVD-read issues.

Begin with the first procedure and continue through the list. Try using the CD or DVD after each procedure is completed. For any procedure that requires changing current system settings, record the original settings before completing the procedure.
  1. Verify that the correct disc (CD/DVD) is used when prompted to insert the disc.
  2. For programs on DVD, verify that the drive containing the DVD is a DVD drive and not a CD-ROM drive. Most DVD drives will haveDVD printed on the front of the drive. For programs on DVD, consider the following:
  • DVD drives can read both DVD's and CD's.
  • CD-ROM drives can read only CD's.
  1. If multiple disc drives (e.g., CD-ROM and CD-RW, or DVD and DVD-RW, or CD-ROM and DVD-RW, etc.) exist on the computer that can read the disc (refer to the items under Step 2), insert the CD or DVD into the other drive and try the program again.
  2. If you are attempting to install a program and the installation does not begin after inserting the CD/DVD into the proper drive, refer to the program's instructions for the installation procedure.
  3. Clean the CD/DVD in the following manner:
  1. Place a small amount of nonabrasive liquid soap on the shiny side of the CD/DVD.
  2. Using your fingertips and warm water, gently rub the soap on the CD/DVD in a circular motion.
  3. Rinse the CD/DVD thoroughly and dry it using a clean, soft T-shirt or lint-free towel. (Do not use paper towels or tissue paper.)
  1. Try to use a different CD or DVD in the drive to see if that disc can be read.
  2. If possible, insert the problem CD or DVD into the DVD or CD drive of another computer to see if the issue persists.
