  1. Optical Drive on Toshiba C55-A is not reading anything


    Hello,


    My CD/DVD-W is not reading anything.


    It is displaying on My Computer and when I right click on it and select open it opens so I don't think it is a mechanical problem, but when I insert any type of CD it does not read it, it gives me an message to insert a CD.


    I tried updating the drivers on it, uninstall and reinstall the drivers and the device itself, but not success.


    I don't think the drive went bad, I feel that something went wrong after one of the Microsoft updates but don't really know which one if that is the problem. I did update to Windows 10 when it was free but I was able to use the drive after that for some while.


    I'm not a tech-guru, though I feel I can figure most problems out with research, but no success as of yet so any assistance is appreciated.


    thanks, Andy

    :)

    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?

    JerryA

    Optical drive letters keep swapping

    Open Disk Management (click Start, type diskmgmt.msc in the Search box, and press Enter).

    1. In the lower pane, right-click on your optical drive and select "Change drive letter and paths"
    2. Assign Y: to the first optical drive
    3. Repeat step 1 for the second optical drive and assign Z:
