    CD/DVD Problem. DVDs are recognised but not CDs


    Can anyone help end my frustration?I recently started ripping my CD collection to FLAC on an external drive, using Windows Media Player, going from ABBA to Zydeco. I got as far as the letter G and tried the Gorillaz CD which turned out to be an enhanced CD which I couldn't rip, presumably because of the DVD data on it. I gave up trying to rip it and went on to the next CD but my CD/DVD drive refuses to recognise any other music CD now, refusing to spin up or think there's a CD in the drive, however DVDs music or video work fine.The frustration comes because I have tried System Restores, driv

    CD's not recognised in DVD/CD Samsung drive


    I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and alll is working well except for the CD/DVD drive does not automatically recognise a CD when its inserted. With previous Windows 7 when I put a music CD in drive wiith itunes open then itunes would ask if i wanted to import CD.

    The CD/DVD is recognised in Device Manager and says that it is working properly. the only way I can get the CD to be recognised after inserting the CD is by going to the Device Manager and double clicking the CD/DVD line to open 'properties'. At that point itunes asks me if i want to import.

    The drive is a Samsung SH-223L.

    Autoplay is ON

    I hope someone can help. Thanks Nigel

    CD/DVD RW Drive not recognised

    Hi all.

    I have an Acer laptop with built in DVD/CD RW drive, running Win 10

    For some reason, the laptop has stopped recognising it.

    When I put a disc in it whirs, spins and clicks as usual as if it were reading it normally, then stops.

    Have gone through all the usual checks and I note that its not even listed under devices, in fact, there is no option for CD/DVD drives even listed to expand under

    I have even gone as far as to return the laptop to factory settings and still no luck.

    Can anyone suggest a fix (in laymans terms LOL)
