pennywise Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 OK, whenever I try to play any games involving a disk, nothing ever happens. If I try to load a game off of a disk, nothing happens. If I try to upload or burn music to a CD, it says that there is no disk in my Drive and I need to insert one. How can I get my computer to read disks and such? Eight Bananas, MD.

Nadril Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Go to Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager Is your CD drive showing up as a device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das1330 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 If its not, it will either have a yellow question mark next to its name, or it will not be listed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennywise Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 There is no question mark so I assume it is listed as a device? Eight Bananas, MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 There is no question mark so I assume it is listed as a device? Do you see a CD/DVD drive in device manager at all? You need to be more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadril Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Click on it. Does it say its running correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mello757 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 How old is it? Nowadays they are inexpensive. It just may be bad. Also open your computer...unplug the cables and plug them back in. I'm thinking it just may be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_ross0 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Open the computer up and see if the drive is plugged in properly. If not, then I suppose it's just gone bad...they're cheap to buy, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennywise Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yes, it says it's working fine. It's most likely just gone bad then I think. Thanks for all your help. Eight Bananas, MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denismage Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Do you have a CD-ROM/RW or DVD-ROM/RW, and what type of disks are you trying to play, CD or DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
