Hello Alfster76, Did you uninstall the DVD drive in the Control Panel, Device Manager, then reboot the system and see if it finds new hardware and installs the drivers for it?
Sometimes this works. If not, you might check the data and the power cables going to the DVD drive, just to insure they are properly connected.
If this does not resolve the issue, the DVD drive may have become faulty.

Hard drive not reading any disc

I am trying to insert software into my hp touchsmart IQ526 and it wont read any disc i put in

For the purpose of troubleshooting, can the DVD/CD drive read a commercial DVD or a music CD? If no, then probably the drive has failed. From the page illustrating the DVD/CD drive, it appears to be a "laptop" style drive. Harder to change out, but not impossible. If that task is beyond your skillset, try an external drive that connects via USB.

CD/ DVD Drive is not reading any discs! - HP Pavillion DV6747TX

Hi there, I have a problem. My CD/ DVD Drive is not reading any discs! I have no idea what's happened..it was going fine and then all of the sudden it stopped working.
The computer I have is a HP Pavillion DV6700 or DV6747TX to be exact and the CD/DVD-Rom drive is a TSSTcgrp CDDVDW TS%L632N ATA Device. It seems to be present in the Device Manager and in the Computer Menu. When I put a CD or DVD into the disc drive lights are blinking and it sounds like it's trying to load or do something, but nothing is coming up. CD Drive E still says CD Drive E instead of reading the disc that's in there and when I click on Drive E it says Windows cannot read the disc in drive E.
I have tried searching the net for answers including the suggestions on this website and have tried a few other ideas I have come across but nothing seems to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is usually a known software conflict and happens across the board will all computer manufacturers due to a issue with multiple media burning/ripping applications being installed on your system.

CD/DVD Drive is not reading any discs on Equium A100

My cd/dvd drive is not reading any discs whatsoever, blank, written or commercially written. It opens and closes and the light to show it is working is on. Device manager says the device is working properly.
Tried updating drivers, no updates available. Tried system restore back 1 day then 1 week then 1 month and still the problem cannot be rectified. When i put a cd/dvd in the drive and try to access it, it says: D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
Can anybody help me i've tried everything me and my friends can think of, or is it a better idea to just send it back to toshiba under the warranty.

Hello,
Here are a few windows articles that could help.

D drive wont read my CS2 disc

My D drive wont read mt Cs2 disc. It says there is no disc in the drive, but ive tried it on other comps and it works. I tried burning the disc and that didnt work and i have no ext hard drive. anything suggestions?

Assuming the cd you burned was intended as a backup of your original Adobe CS2 disc, perhaps you didn't finalize it when you burned it. Use the original disc instead. If you don't have an original disc, you might consider that this forum is sponsored by Adobe.

Optical drive problem - ejects any disc

Hi everybody,
I have 4 years old white MacBook and I have problem with cd drive - it ejects any disc right after I put one in. It doesn't seem that it's trying to read it, the disc is just ejected after few seconds. I don't know if it is software or hardware problem (but I'm afraid it's hardware). Can anybody help me?
Thanks
Natalia

I have same problem with my iMac but not fixed it yet. I ran a hardware check (hold down D during start up) and this did report a fault but it made no sense to me. Worth a try. Other forums suggested create a new user account and see if applies to that user. i did this too and at first the new user would accept discs but now it will not.
Cheers

My iphone3gs wont read any sim card i put into it, is it the sim card reader? how do i fix it?

My iphone3gs wont read any sim card i put into it, is it the sim card reader? and how do i fix it? and yes the sim card matches the carrier

Possibly. Make an appointment at the genius bar and have them take a look at it.
If it was ever hacked to unlock it or jailbroken, it may now be permanently bricked.

My ENVY 17 3D's Bluray drive does not read any disc.

I got a refurbished ENVY 17 3D (i7 740Q) and having a bluray drive issue.
When I insert a disc in to the drive it keeps spitting the disc out after a few seconds. And I can't hear any motor spinning sound. It's weird, I mean at least it should be reading the disc then spit it out, on the other hand it do exist in my SYSTEM. I didn't have a single burning CD software installed but I did install an iTunes. Should I return it to HP?

Anyone has solution to this, before I decided to send it to HP for repair?
I tried the Optical Drive Diagnostic using HP support assistant, but since the drive keep ejecting the media (CD/DVD/BR) for testing, I can't complete the diagnostic. I uninstalled and reinstalled with the latest drive update, still the same problem, even with the latest BIOS update.
I even went with a complete system recovery reboot and still can't solve the problem. The BR drive worked fine since it's recognized by the system, and Windows does not show any error. So why does it keep ejecting the CD/DVD/BR?
This happened out of the blue btw, so I have no clue what caused the problem. It was working fine like moments ago.

G5 not reading any discs....?

sorry if this has been posted somewhere, but i did not see anything that could possibly solve this problem. i can eject my tray just fine but when i insert a disc (CD, DVD, burned & regular), the drive wont even spin or read it. so obviously nothing shows up on my desktop. it was working fine until a few weeks ago. i have tried a lens cleaner but my computer wont even read that. i have no idea what i can do to fix this especially since i have not done a lot of burning or movie watching. the machine is a G5 dual 2.0 and the drive is a SONY DVD RW DW-Q28A. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try resetting your PRAM.
Insert a bootable disk and restart.
When there is the starting chime press the OPTION key: If your disk won't show up as bootable option it may be time for calling Apple.

Still no fix for superdrive not reading any disc at all?

I've searched through the forum and it seems like there's still no solution for the superdrive not reading any sort disc at all. I have had this imac for almost a month. I rarely have used the superdrive but was trying to play a normal audio cd tonight and upon further investigation found that the drive is not reading any type of disc.
If a disc is loaded, the drive whirs/beeps 4-5 times while trying to read the disc and then ejects it. this happens for dvd movies, audio cds, osx install disc, etc.
I did successfully play and rip some cds a few weeks ago when the imac was first purchased. I have not inserted discs often enough in the past to substantiate that upgrading to 10.4.5 or 10.4.6 affected the drive's performance.
Think I need a new drive or could this be software related?
imac intel core duo 17" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I want "solved"
You can add me to the list too - I check this page frequently for a reply from an apple representative - to no avail.
My computer is less than 2 years old, purchased brand spankin' new, w/o the warrantee - but hey when you pay that much for your 'puter it should not break down at ANY time during (at least) the first 5 years, unless gross negligence and disregard is involved (which is is not).
I would not categorize myself as being in the 'high usage' category for burning either dvd's or cd's, but here I am less than 2 yrs after purchase w/ a superdrive that can't even read a store-bought cd, and oddly enough the problems I am having DO seem to coincide w/ download of a 'security update.'
Hmmmm......
I would like, at the very least, a helpful suggestion from someone working for Apple - if not an acknowledgement of an actual issue with a faulty (expensive) product.
A guarantee of satisfaction with a purchase should not be wrapped up in purchase of a service plan - good customer service is good policy, and should be provided as a means of standing behind the quality of a product you both sell, and believe in.
There is no good reason why my computer should be broken, and there is no good reason why it shouldn't be fixed - and I see a lot of you have even more reason for complaint than I do. It is irksome in the extreme that this issue seems not to warrant the attention from anyone who can make a difference to our plight.
One would think that a drop-down menu on an official web-site would have a better response rate from affiliated 'professionals' - but we all know the old adage about assuming...
Hey - maybe customer service really is dead - and I might believe that if it weren't for the fact that I respond, personally, to customer e-mails on a daily basis...
Where is our response?
I apologize for the lengthy "blog" - but short and sweet hasn't done the trick..maybe this will?? We can only hope...

Trying to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard.. my dvd drive wont read my disks, yet it plays music cds and movie dvd's...help!!

I just purchased snow leopard and I evenually want to upgrade to lion.. I have to put snow leopard on first in order to do that. I currently have leopard. I try to run my disks and they wont read, my DVD drive makes a ugly noise when it tries to read them.. I tried my original installation disk and it does the same thing. But when I put in a regular movie DVD or a music CD it plays them fine without problems. I called customer support, and they suggested I take it to a apple tecnician... cant really afford that right now....has this issue happened to anyone???? any suggestions???? HELP!!!

hi there angel..may i know did u find out what was the problem and how did u fix it? much thanks.

My dvd drive wont read (or even accept the existense of cds) much less burn them. HEEELLLLPPP

my dvd drive wont do alot of the things it is supposed to like burn cds, or even recognize them, also when I went to my profiler it says the drive doesnt exist. as far as I know the model is an MATSHITA DVD R UJ 875. my computer will still read dvds, but if there is a cd inserted, then it makes some aggrivating noises and then spits it out, I know little to nothing about SERIOUS computer work, like firmware patches, or bridges or whatever the terms are. When I try to burn anything, it cycles almost burns, but then, like clockwork. the error messafe pops up that there is an un expected error. I am at my witts end here is there any thing I can do to fix this problem, without spending money I really dont have right now? (I am going to school and it starts this thursdaty) or should I just get my SKS out and fix the problem with a Full metal jacket? someone help. if need be my email is [email protected] Please help me if you can.
Thanks all

Try resetting PRAM…

At times it helps with optical drive issues.

*iMac refusing to read any discs*- HELP!

My iMac has suddenly stopped reading any sort of disc. Whenever I put a cd, dvd disc or movie, it goes in then gets ejected after about 10 seconds.
I know for sure that when I got it about 2 months ago, the disc drive was working.
Any help is really appreciated!

I was having a similar problem. All of my blank DVD -R discs would spin in the drive for 10-30 seconds, the drive would make some clicking sounds and then eject the disc. DVD DL discs would have no problems. I tried resetting PRAM, but that did not help. I tried multiple brands of DVD -R's but that did not help either. I finally went and tried a lens cleaner (with the tiny brushes-Fellowes). I know these are not recommended for slot loading drives and I was potentially asking for trouble, but I needed a solution. Fortunately, the cleaner disc was read by the system properly, the movie played and the tests ran without a problem. Once it was complete, I popped in a DVD -R and it loaded without a hitch. Have burned 2-3 discs now without a problem.
