Problem 

Procedure

You cannot access a 
CD/DVD/HD DVD in the 
drive

Make sure the drive's drawer is securely closed. 
Press gently until it clicks into place.
Open the drawer and make sure the disc is  
properly seated. It should lie flat with the label  
facing up.
A foreign object in the drawer could block laser 
light from reading the disc. Make sure there is no 
obstruction. Remove any foreign object.
Check whether the CD, DVD, or HD DVD is dirty. 
If it is, wipe it with a clean cloth dipped in water 
or a neutral cleaner. See the 

Media care

 section 

in Chapter 4 for details on cleaning.

DVDs run correctly, but 
others do not

The computer's software or hardware
