Okay well, Ive been wrestling with my laptop for the past few hours now about how to get my CD-DVD-RW to actually read CDs and DVDs but it just doesnt seem to want to. After looking at the problem for a few hours, I figured I might come here for a little tech advice.
The problem is that once a CD (any CD or DVD) goes in, the device just spins and spins and will not read, also it wont eject and if I try to refresh the device, it will freeze explorer. I noticed in my device manager that there are two forms of my CD ROM running one is called "Generic DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device" and the other is called "Slimtype DVDRW SDW-431S" I noticed something pecuiliar about the device location. Its reading Generic DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device at Bus number 0, Target ID 0 and LUN 0 and the other at Location 0 (0) is this a problem? And do you guys know any ways to get this working again?
I should also mention I am running Daemon tools. Maybe that will help.
Thanks
