September 6, 201015 yr A week ago, I bought an album. It has 2 disks in it, one's a bonus, and only now did I get around to transferring it onto my iPod. However, I have no idea why my laptop won't open it. I put the CD into the laptop. then open E drive and a popup says "Please insert a disk into drive E" and a hyperlink that says "Help me choose a disk" (but that doesn't help, I tried). Any reason why this happens? Also it happened with some other disks lately and this laptop is a HP Pavillion dv6000, and it's like 3 years old :mellow:

September 8, 201015 yr Yea, the drive is a DVD drive as well. Also sometimes other disks work, although it's pretty random. If different disks work basically randomly, there is a chance that the drive is broken - the lasers tend to get knocked off their optimal positioning, damaging disk read performance. Try holding the laptop at different angles as it reads disks and see what happens - sometimes that will help to realign the laser.
September 8, 201015 yr I'm blaming the motherboard. I've had three laptops all the same model (HP Pavilion dv6000) with motherboard failures as it's a common thing for it. Chances are it is just the DVD drive like Snipersas said, but I personally would prepare for the worst, I just dont trust that particular model. :thumbdown: Popoto.~<3
