Hi Primhak,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I need to clarify a couple of things the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) is playing DVDs but won't CDs is that correct? What is this error code that you are talking about? What operating system are you running?

  • MacBook CD/DVD drive won't read disc

    I have a Apple MacBook MC207LL. I have run into a major problem. My CD/DVD drive won't recogonize a disc when it's inserted (I have to force eject it). Disk utility shows that there is a disc present in the CD/DVD drive.
    My major issue is that I erased my partition so I can have a clean install of my laptop. Now I can't reinstall the OS because it won't read the disc or a USB.
    Is there a way to use Terminal to force it to read my data on the disc?
    Otherwise I am stuck with an empty computer that I will never be able to use I have done research on this and nobody has run into this exact problem as me. If someone can take their time to help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem, but now mine wont even notice that the disc is there! I wouldsay take it to the genius bar.

  • My notebook's cd/dvd drive won't read discs.

    I checked the drive's properties in the device manager and it says "its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)". how do i fix this?
    I'm running vista home premium on a pretty new pavilion notebook with a blue ray player (if that makes any difference). its only about four months old, I got it right around christmas.

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

    Hey I had my mbp for about a week before I put in a disk. The second I stuck it in a knew something was wrong seeing it shook my entire desk. I took it in and they repaired the 400 part and now it works fine.
    Your problem was one of my symptoms so take it in. They will check it out. They knew mine was messed up as soon as they tried to burn something. I was covered by warranty I hope you are.

  • MacBook CD/DVD drive won't read discs

    I have just updated the new OXS 10.9 for my Macbook Pro. Then I found that I insert the discs, the drive makes the repetitive 'hunting' sound of a drive that can't recognise a disc. It will eventually give up and eject the disc.

    I am having the same problem, but now mine wont even notice that the disc is there! I wouldsay take it to the genius bar.

    DVD drive won't read after upgrade to mountain lion install

    do you have the win 7 cd handy, try to boot into the discs and see whether that works, this will tell you whether that is software or hardware problem. Such failures do occur, due to ageing of laser.

  • DVD drive won't read disks at boot

    I have a Paviliton DV6-2113sa running Win7 HP  64bit. 
    I removed Acronis True Image and when I rebooted I got a BSOD at the point when the coloured balls should merge into one.
    I thought OK, put the system repair disk into the DVD drive and boot up, but the drive is failing to read any recovery dosks. I think the drive has packed up as I haven't used it for some time.
    Can I use any replacement drive in this model or must I get the same one again?
    The drive light flickers as though it is reading data but it doesn't 'spool up' to speed and I don't get the 'press any key to load from DVD'.
    The BSODs are a seperate issue which I think running a system repair will fix but I can't as the drive won't read data.
    Is it possible to put the repair disk files onto a 4gb USB stick and if so, how do I do it?
    Thanks.

    Hi Peeps
    I had exactly the same problem with my Macbook, again from the UK. Really weird though as would intermittantly read DVD film's which worked fine previously.
    Well.... Took it to my local Apple store and saw a genius and anyway they replaced the super drive and logic board (surprised about the logic board!).
    But just got it back today and the DVD drive is completely fubard so is being returned tomorrow to get this sorted!
    Moral of the story, sounds like a drive or board problem. Will keep you updated when I get mine back

  • G60t-200 CD/DVD drive won't read XP discs

    I recently re-installed Windows 7 Home Premium after I had a blue screen crash forcing me to re-format the hard drive on a g-60t-200. I've installed all the recommended Windows updates as well as all the HP updates for the g60t-200 model that I have but now the CD/DVD drive will not read the files on older discs that I burned using Windows XP on another machine. It shows the disc in the drive and shows the folders on the disc but when you open the folders, the files are not visible. When I right click and open up the properties of the disc while it's in the drive it shows it as "UDF" format. The other machines in the house running Windows XP can read the disks just fine and show all the files. Is there an update or driver I'm missing that will allow the drives to read the files on discs burned using Windows XP?

    Hi sherifawad, and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that after restoring your computer, you can no longer read CD/DVD's that were burned on XP with the Windows 7 operating system. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. I suggest that you make sure that you have the latest service pack for Windows 7. Here is the Service Pack and Update Center for Windows.
    I am including this document for Using HP Support Tools to Update HP Software, Drivers, and BIOS with Windows 7.
    I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes.

  • My DVD Drive won't read Any DL Dvd

    Hello, I have a problem. I am trying to burn a DVD+R DL from memorex and everytime I put it in my drive it always eject. But the drive works since I just re-installed my OS from the mac OS boot disc that came with the computer when I bought it. And I also installed programs from dvd before. Is this a driver not updated or my dvd drive is broken or what's wrong with my computer. Please help me. BTW, My computer is running on leopard, its a unibody 2,4ghz.

    You can try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
    and PRAM How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
    If that doesn't help you can try a cleaning disc or a quick shot of canned air. It's likely though that your drive has failed, it' not all that uncommon. It that is the case you can either replace it or have it replaced but it's far cheaper just to buy a usb external drive....just not Apples because it won't work with macs with a built in drive working or not. .

  • Satellite L30 - DVD drive won't read CR-R / CD-RW

    I have an L30 with a Mat****a uj-850s DVD ram drive. It reads any pre-recorded cd/dvd, but when inserting a CD-R or CD-RW with files that have been burnt to disc it just tells me I've inserted a blank disc.
    Also won't burn a disc (tried to burn files from Itunes and it appeared to be working but the disc was blank when I tried to play back).
    I read on another forum that I should delete the upper & lower filters registry values in the {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} folder in the registry, which I think might have been the wrong advice to follow.
    I deleted the upper and then realised the lower wasn't there anyway - it hasn't solved the problem and I think it may have caused some instability as I've had some weird errors with different applications since then.
    Please help.

    >deleted the upper and then realized the lower wasn't there anyway - it hasn't solved the problem and I think it may have caused some instability as I've had some weird errors with different applications since then.
    Well... from my personal experiences the burning results depends from different factors.
    First of all not all CDs and DVDs are supported and compatible. You should test different manufacturers!!!
    Secondly the different preinstalled burning applications could have a bad influence on the burning process!!! I use only Nero and I??m very satisfied!!
    Last but not least the CD/DVD malfunction could cause such issue.
    SO what to do? ?:| Check firstly if other medias works correctly and try to burn with Nero. It would be also advisable to renew the OS to avoid some program errors!
    Good luck

  • DVR-K17 DVD drive won't read installation disks

    Hi ,

    was hoping the fresh install would fix the problem (came from Vista 32 bit)
    but it didn't
    any suggestions appreciated

    Total WAG:  are your home-made data DVDs finalized?  I think just about everything these days can handle mulit-session CDs, but IIRC there are some configurations that won't recognize multi-session DVDs.
    Like I said, just a WAG.

  • DVD Drive Won't Read "Homemade" Data Discs

    Hello! I just purchased a T500 with a regular old DVD burner (Optiarc DVD RW AD-7910S) and am having an issue with it. The problem is that it will read certain DVDs just fine (a Visual Studio DVD, for instance, worked just fine. As did a Vista Ultimate DVD). Unfortunately, other discs are not so fortunate. Anything that contains just plain old data files (such as a disc of log files, a disc with video files, etc) won't load at all. The drive will spin up, spin down, make a floppy disk reading clunking sound, and repeat the procedure.
    So it seems that anything that comes from an ISO or an "official" source (Microsoft) works fine, but any time a disc was burned with Nero or the Windows burning thing(tm) it won't read at all. This doesn't apply to CDs, however, which seem to be working just fine.
    Is this an easily fixable problem? Could it be a problem with the hardware? It doesn't seem like that would only stop it from reading data discs, but I'm no expert. I updated the firmware to the latest version available on the download site (actually I did that before trying any data discs, so I don't know if it was an issue with the old firmware). Is it possible that it didn't update properly or something? Would it be worth trying (or possible) to redo the firmware update or to revert to the old version to test? Forgive me if I'm sounding ignorant here.
    Thanks for any insights!
    P.S. I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, if that makes any difference to anything.

  • CD/DVD drive won't read any CDs or DVDs

    Whenever I insert a DVD, CD, or CD-ROM my computer won't read the disc. The computer starts making noise like it is reading the disc but then it stops. It tries 3 times (starts and stops) and then just spits the disc out. I can't watch movies, install software, etc. How do I fix this.

    Before taking it or sending it anywhere I'd first try resetting PRAM…

  • Dvd drive won't read/ejects dvds at a whim

    Hi all,
    My macbook dvd drive seems to not wish to play certain dvds- only a few though... when this occurs, it just tends to spit them back out at me.
    It's not a problem with the dvds, as they play on my dvd player, just not on the laptop...
    any ideas?
