Clifford Automotive Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 DVD drive will not recognize DVD. It will recognize any other cd or cdr and the like and will read them. Insert DVD it says "please insert media" Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 CD/DVD combo drives have two lasers, one for CD one for DVD. If the DVD laser has failed you will get this symptom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 You need a new drive it sounds like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 yeah sounds likea bad drive. only other option would be to get or make a boot dvd disk and see if it will boot to it. If it doesnt boot drive is bad if it does then its a O/S or software problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the store on bethel road in the shopping center on the left side. It is right when you get off 315. They are not cheap but its there if you need something real quick.

thorne Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 unless you have a fast pc or plan on upgrading there no real point allot of machines have problems sustaining the data transfer rate required to burn dvds at 16x.
