  1. CDs and DVDs do not work with my new laptop


    I have loads of CDs and DVDs but my brand new Win11 Lenovo doesn't even recognise my remote USB drive. I've already looked into this and none of the fixes seem to work. Surely there MUST be a fix from microsoft for this? Not something requiring in-depth programming knowledge either! This machine is BRAND NEW so cannot be 'cos of corrupt files etc. PLEASE HELP as I am sure I'm not the only person to ask!!

    New DVD/CD - Not Running

    First check the bios ,see if it it is listed as a startup device.
    if not then the mainboard is not recognizing it and you Should check the cables and connections.
    Forget devices, open the Device Manager and see if it is there, check properties
    un check "turn off this device to save power" (just for now)
    also check for any errors.
    second step if all appears good is to delete the dvd in the Device Manager with the drivers.
    reboot and see if it shows.

    New DVD/CD - Not Running

    DVD/CD player acting up so got a new one, an ASUS DRW-24D5MT 48 x or whatever, Its listed in devices, its not listed in File Explorer, and will not run. I went to ASUS and installed driver for this model, still nothing. Sys Info says driver not available. Asus told me to do scannow - no difference. Put DVD in, starts to run then stops, same for a CD.

    Win 10 Home x 64 H20 19041.vb_release. 19206-1406

    Also USB CD/DVD player (used for tablet) not working in pc either.

    CDs and DVDs do not work with my new laptop

    DVD/CD Player not working

    I have a Lenovo G505s Laptop with Windows 10 and a DVD/ CD Player that suddenly does not work. The computer tells me the drivers are OK. I have been into Device Manager and uninstalled and reinstalled both the DVD player and the associated controller without success. The DVD player appears to be working OK ( I can hear it working and the small power light comes on ) but for some reason the system does not recognise it . I am reluctant to get involved in registry changes ( suggested as a possible source of the problem ) as I am not too computer savvy.
