MY CD-ROM is massacre me! facilitate?

1) Make sure they are identified: My Computer\manager\device Manager- look for exclamation points indicating a driver issue, reinstall if there is an error.

2) DVD-ROM will make out a plain readable CD and even may indicate a disk is surrounded by the drive, but of course will not read it if CD-R or CD-RW (depends on the model)

3) Start next to a music CD- load into your IDE drive- can you play the music files? repeat near DVD drive with same disc, afterwards use a movie- same question

4) Vista Ultimate should enjoy no diffculty reading those drives- check cabling, also check Microsoft Visa site for updates or drivers.



Good luck
If you own a DVD writer and DVD Drom... it's looking for a DVD, not a CD.
buy a bat and destroy the s hit out of it, next budge to a GOOD comp store and get a bright dvd drive...
one problem could be you didnt get a cd drive!!! i guess since it is a medium center pc hp give you only dvd drives. you should purchase a removable drive which sais cd-dvd or lately cd drive.
If this is like other HP systems, you enjoy 2 separate drives -- only one of which will write (namely the HP DVD Writer).



First and foremost -- manufacture sure the CDR is being put within the DVD Writer drive. Of course the DVDROM drive will not recognize blank CDR medium.



If your drive(s) still will not recognize the medium then it's distinctly possible the drive have gone south for the winter with no intentions of returning. Seek a replacement.
