  3. External drive

    Hi Richard,

    There are several factors that can cause your external drive to not read DVDs even though the system is recognizing the device. This could be caused by a driver that needs to updated or corrupted files. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions
    below:

    • Just to confirm, the device that is not working properly is a external DVD optical drive?
    • Were there any recent changes or updates installed on your computer?
    • Have you tried to plug the external drive to a different port on your computer?

    As a initial recommendation, we suggest that your run the built in troubleshooter in Windows 10. Kindly refer to the steps below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the Search bar and press Enter.
    • Click on “View All” in the top left corner.
    • This will display the list of troubleshooters which are built-in in the computer. You can click on
      Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.

    This will check for common errors that affect hardware on your computer and attempts to correct them.

    We look forward to your response after completing the steps.

  4. No longer have external drive and when i download fortnite "Invalid E:/ Drive" pops up

    Can't uninstall. Invalid drive E:/

    To increase disc space on drive E, free space needed to be on right side, but mine was on left. So, I had to delete drive E and create a new drive A with the space I required. I could recover most files as I had copied them to A before deleting E. Now,
    to reinstall certain programs, specifically Epic Games launcher, I need to delete the previous install. But I cannot do it since it says invalid E drive. It seems, its because the drive no longer exists. But I want to uninstall this previously installed Epic
    Games launcher. Please help. It makes me very uncomfortable and makes me feel I spoilt my laptop.
