DVD drive does not recognize disk

MoistFinger · 04-03-2008, 08:09 AM

My Vista 64bit SP1 has just started doing exactly the same thing!

When you insert a disc of any type ( e.g. I am trying to install a genuine PC DVD Aplication ) Vista wants to format the disc for writing.

Have tried the "delete the drive and reboot" with no success.

Could this be a SP1 problem?

Apart from this Vista is running like a dream.

Thanks dai .
I gave that a try , it worked until I rebooted pc again and then reverted back to wanting to format disc.
