DVD Rom Dead or Not?

[dhavalcoholic]

Hello..

I am facing a strange problem in my PC lately.

The "My Computer" simply stopped showing "DVD Drive"...... So I checked Device Manager..... There it is showing " ! " symbol with the Dvd Drive.

I felt it must be some Driver issue, so tried updating it, but had no success. I also dint get any specific Driver CD with my purchase.

The strange part is that....

I was reinstalling my XP, the DVD rom worked perfectly during the first phase. And it started giving problem after the PC rebooted and XP was loaded for me to enter settings.

Please help !! :)

Thanks ! :)

Hi dhavalcoholic,
One of my friends has a similar problem; i stumbled across this forum that potentially has a solution. I have not gotten around to trying it yet; but it may well be worth a look.

Hope this helps.

I think there should be problem in your DVD lens,
the only solution for this download Disk dvd cleaner software. which cleans ur drive..
hope it works...
