Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / February 2006DVD-RW (D:) Problem
The Dvd drive has recently stopped working and shows no disc whatsoever inside the drive when there is one in it. I tried to restore the computer to an early date that did not work...I tried to insert the Windows XP Device disc so I could reinstall the driver but it dosen't read that disc...any help appreciated. Go to Start > Run and type in: devmgmt.msc and press the Enter key. After the Device Manager window opens, scroll down to your DVD/CD-ROM drives, click the "+" to expand, then right-click on your DVD Drive and select Uninstall. You will be prompted to reboot your computer, so reboot and Windows XP will reinstall the DVD Drive.

Yeah..I did that however it still didn't recognize the disc.

What type of disk you tried? Blank CD, Blank DVD, store bought CD/DVD? DVD drives can have "hardware" failure and the only way to get it to work may be by replacing the drive. -- --- Y. I've tried a store bought DVD I think it could be a problem with the drive I hear the disc spin and then there's a dun noise and it continues in that order constantly. How much would it cost to replace a DVD drive? > >Yeah..I did that however it still didn't recognize the disc.
