drive cannot read a disc or
takes too long to start. Media has been
inserted upside down. Re-insert the Media with the label
facing up.
The DVD-ROM drive

audio or video. Wait at least 30 seconds to let the
DVD-ROM drive determine the type
of media being played. If the disc
still does not start, read the other
solutions listed for this topic.

cleaning kit.
Windows does not
detect the CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive. 1. Use Device Manager to remove
or uninstall the device in
question.
2. Restart the computer and let
Windows detect the device.
Recording audio CDs is
difficult or impossible. Wrong or poor quality
media type. 1. Try using a slower recording
speed.

correct media for the drive.
