LG DVD CD RW
I am having the same problem. I have a Gateway Intel Centrino Duo and use
Windows Visa Home. When I also click on the e:\drive for cd-dvd I get nothing. when I go to device manager it indicates device is working properly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the device drivers I have removed the upper and lowere filters and nothing has changed. looks like there has been some type of recent download that has caused this to happen. From what I can tell there has been many posting regarding this issue.

That is quite an old drive. I would suggest that the laser has failed to then point where it can no longer see the disc. Unfortunately, the laser has a limited life and is the single most common failure mode for optical drives. |
