DVD/CD-rW/CD-roM Drive Problems
LifeBook notebook
fails to recognize
DVD/CD-RW/ CD-
ROM’s.
(continued)
Wrong drive designator
was used for DVD/CD-
RW/CD-ROM in the
application.
Verify the drive designator used by the
application is the same as the one used by the
operating system.
When the operating system is booted from a
DVD/ CD, drive designations are automatically
adjusted.
Windows DVD/CD-RW/
CD-ROM auto insertion
function is disabled.
Start the DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM from the
desktop or application software or re-enable
the Windows DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM auto
insertion function.
DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM is
dirty or defective.
Wipe DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM with a non-
abrasive CD cleaning cloth and reinsert. If it
still does not work, replace a new DVD/CD-
RW/CD-ROM in the drive.
The DVD/CD-RW/
CD-ROM Access
indicator on the
Status Indicator
Panel blinks at
regular intervals
when no DVD/
CD-RW/CD-ROM
is in the tray or the
optical drive is not
installed.
The Windows DVD/
CD-RW/CD-ROM auto
insertion function is active
and is checking to see if a
DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM is
ready to run.
This is normal. However, you may disable this
feature.
