    DVD/cd writer cycling


    I run W8.1 and 10130 on the same desktop. They are on separate SSD's and only plugged in one at a time. When 10130 is in and idle, the DVD/CD will cycle meaning it tries to do a read. Last's about 5 seconds and repeats every 3 minutes. The tray is empty. W8.1 does not repeat this behavior. Weird or what! *Shock

    Can I get a driver for my cd/dvd writer for my laptop after upgrading to windows 10 from windows 8, 8.1 again so I can still use my cd/dvd writer?

    After upgrading from windows 8 to 8.1 to windows 10 I lost the cd/dvd writer driver, now I can't use my cd/dvd writer anymore which I know will be removed ( driver ) after installing or upgrading to windows 10. Can Microsoft will send me the driver for my
    cd/dvd writer even I need to pay a certain fee, so I can able to use my cd/dvd writer again?

    Actually I restored twice to windows 8 but I can't still use my cd/dvd writer anymore.

    My laptop is Toshiba and Samsung is the cd/dvd writer.

    DVD/cd writer cycling

    What happens if you insert a disc?

    It sounds as though an install might not have finished and is looking for the disc. Either that or the drive letter assigned to the Optical drive is referenced by a program (libraries, environment variables, any number of things).

    Try inserting the Win10 DVD (if that's how you installed Win10) - see if any dialog window pops up.
    Try inserting a blank R-W disc - is there a burn waiting?

    Also look at your environment variables
    Launch a command prompt and type

    Set

    Look for any references to the Optical drive letter.

    You can also check your Services and Startup items - it's a mystery.
    Run [ msconfig ]

    Any folder included in a library on the DVD drive letter?

    You might also try just changing the DVD drive letter in Disk Management.
