[SOLVED] DVD ROM help

foamis · 03-11-2009, 09:48 PM

hi, i have a DVD DRIVE (D:) & a DVD RW DRIVE (E:) they both are detected and everything says to be working fine, here is the problem:

i put in ANY CD and (both) drives load, stop, and thats it, nothing else. i then go to "MY COMPUTER" and it still doesn't show up. I double click one, it freezes, i open the drive it was in, it unfreezes and says please enter disk.

please help, as i have no idea what is up.

what are you running
video card
cpu
m/board
ram
power supply
brand
wattage

check the listings in the bios for voltages and temperatures and post them

remove the filters

my voltages are auto. my BIOS allows me to overlclock easily, i am currently not, everything is default ...

*edit* when i put a disk in, i see the disk logo on the mouse, telling me its working, but after that, it just goes idle... it doesn't even appear on "MY COMPUTER" which is so weird.

did you do the filters

check cd drives set to be sen as cd drives in the bios and not set to auto detect
