    USB CD / DVD drive keeps ejecting disks - won't read


    I've tried every thing I've found while searching, so maybe someone has a new idea...


    I have Surface Pro 4 with docking station. The DVD drive is LG AP70NS50. Same behavior whether connected to dock or directly to the Surface's USB port.


    Inserting disk will spin up, but then eject. This occurs with every CD/DVD I've tried. After trying numerous fixes, I bought a new drive, and it also does not work. It does work on another computer


    The drive shows in file explorer and device manager, which reports "device is working properly." Liar.


    Things I've tried with no joy:

    - uninstalled drive in device manager/reboot

    - uninstalled USB controllers in device manager/reboot

    - clean boot disabling all non-microsoft services thru msconfig as well as all startup programs

    - regedit atapi controller0 suggestion found on forum

    - regedit look for "upperfilters" "lowerfilters" suggested in another forum post - mine had neither so I couldn't delete as suggested

    - probably some other stuff that I've forgotten


    Ideas?

    :)

  3. CD Drive will not read disks after the Windows 10 update

    I have had windows 10 installed on my computer for quite some time and all hardware and devices were working fine. After the latest windows 10 update my DVD Drive is no longer reading CD's . Every time I put in cd in the Drive it ejects it out and
    a pop up states to insert disk in drive. I have tried various Music CD'S and Movie DVD'S as well as data CD'S and I keep getting the same problem

    (( it ejects it out and a pop up states to insert disk in drive ))

    USB CD / DVD drive keeps ejecting disks - won't read

    Windows 7 Pro, DVD/CD drive stuck with "Files ready to burn to disk" mode.

    Step 1: I can insert a CD in drive and it read the contents.

    Step 2: I remove CD from drive

    Step 3: I insert a DVD -R disk and go through the wizard "option for Creating a Mastered" disk

    Step 4: I get to the "files ready to write to disk blank window"

    Step 5: I open a second Windows explorer window and highlight photos and drag them to the "files waiting to be written" window.

    Step 6: I press Burn disk

    Step 7: DVD burns files and closes window. Disk Ejects.

    Step 8: I close Both File Explorer windows

    Step 9: I open new File explorer window and push in the DVD disk I just burned.

    Step 10: I click on the DVD drive, it spins shows no data, window shows "files waiting to be burned" blank screen.

    Step 11: I double click on the drive icon and the disk ejects. I reinsert to be presented with same "files waiting to be burned".

    Step 12: I eject the DVD and insert a CD and still presented with "files waiting to be burned" Will not display contents nor autoplay... Not even Music disk.

    Step 13: I open Device Manager, find DVD burner, Remove it, right click an scan for changes, DVD drive is found and reinstalls

    Step 14: I repeat inserting music disk, autoplay prompts, I insert the DVD that I burned and it now "reads the contents"... Drive behaves normally until I burn another DVD.. Then I have to repeat this process to get the drive to read contents of disk's..

    Buggy driver or Windows burning software is buggy that after burning, will not release the "files waiting to burn" window.
