November 11, 200718 yr 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.
November 11, 200718 yr Go to Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager Is your CD drive showing up as a device?
November 11, 200718 yr If its not, it will either have a yellow question mark next to its name, or it will not be listed at all.
November 11, 200718 yr Author There is no question mark so I assume it is listed as a device? Eight Bananas, MD.
November 11, 200718 yr 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.

November 11, 200718 yr 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.
November 11, 200718 yr 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.
November 12, 200718 yr Author 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.
November 12, 200718 yr Do you have a CD-ROM/RW or DVD-ROM/RW, and what type of disks are you trying to play, CD or DVD?
