    CD/DVD+-RW will not play.


    It worked fine before I updated to Windows 10. I've tried everything I read but still no success. I've uninstalled and rebooted comp (nothing). I look in the DIRECTORY and it is there. I right click and can open it, but it still will not read the disk. I ran a hardware scan and received the error code: - OPU Test - WCD43-03A

    I've never dropped or banged my laptop. Help!

    :)

  2. 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)

    clean possibly infected flash drives and CD-RWs


    Your steps in post #1 should work for 99% of viruses that may be on a usb flash drive. However, there are a very few viruses that can infect the MBR of a drive. I would use Diskpart from a command prompt (Admin) to clean them. In the command prompt type DISKPART then, at the Diskpart prompt use the commands:

    LIST DISKnote the disk number of the usb and use it in place of # in the command:SELECT DISK #
    CLEAN
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

    After this you will have cleaned the partition table from the usb and created a partition using the whole of the the available space. You can then format this partition in File Explorer.


    For a CD-RW, if you right-click on it in File Explorer there is an Erase option.

    DVD rw driver

    I installed DVDRW drive in hp probook that didn't have one a refurbished laptop. So it didn't come with drivers for the DVD rw CD drive player. Windows restart driver finder so on can't open it get it to work there's no dvdrw CD drive listed anywhere in
    Windows pc my computer this pc so on I know the system. At HP support it scanned for drivers showed I need DVD CD driver download charge is 9.95. Will this start the DVD rw drive even though the download is for a DVD CD drive. Should I do the download?
