Windows 10: Making batch script wait until optical disc is inserted

Hey there, I hope this is the right place for this type of question.

I'm currently building a small semi-automated ripping station and want a script to wait until an optical disc is being inserted, then continue on with the next step.

I'm pretty familiar with bash scripting, however when it comes to batch I'm a total noob. What's the best way to make this?

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?

Optical disc drive not working - OFF/ON Autoplay fixed it


Hi all
I had purchased a brand new HP laptop last week. It came with WinX 1024 and I eventually managed to get it updated to the latest 1511 version.
Last thing I checked (before delivery to the intended user) was whether the optical drive worked. I was dumbfounded to find that it wouldn't read a disc. When I tried to open the drive the disc was ejected. Any disc I put it the drive just ground away continually and wouldn't open - and no sign of Autoplay.

I spend hours - literally hours - trolling the internet for a fix.
I tried setting different Autoplay settings with mixed and intermittent results.
I found the registry edits but was loathe to use them because the behavior I was seeing didn't really seem to fit :

• I could see the optical drive but discs wouldn't open when inserted
• I could add an external optical drive and I could see it as a new drive but discs wouldn't open when inserted
• I fiddled with the Autoplay settings - once or twice this worked but most times it didn't
• I could add a USB stick - it was recognized by Autoplay
• Strangely I could burn a blank disc
• The device manager seemed to have all the right drivers and no errors (I did a re-install at one stage)
• I checked the WinX registry against a Win 8.1 registry - it was missing NoDriveTypeAutoRun in HKCU but other posts on the internet suggested this wasn't really an issue.

Then I decided to turn off Autoplay in the Control Panel, Save and restart the laptop.
Voila ... I could see the discs mounted on the optical drive and I could right mouse click to open them.

So then I turned Autoplay back on , saved and restarted the laptop.
Autoplay started working as expected ......... what the ?????

I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth at this point and I'm hoping the fix 'sticks'.

I am also hoping that this simple fix works for someone else.
