1229582 2011-09-08 03:04:00 PC will not read Data or Audio CD's . Worked 7 days ago . Light comes on for about 7 seconds and then goes out . Open drive and not reading CD . Computer telling me this device working ok . Have checked Device Manager and there appears to be no problems . Help ! Also has HP DVD Writer 300n n which is reading DVD's ok IanVW (16535)
1229583 2011-09-08 03:14:00 Are there any programs like daemontools / roxio cd writing programs installed? What version of windows is it? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1229584 2011-09-08 03:20:00 Probhably faulty (dead laser etc).
Device manager wont find that sort of fault.

less likely
Also could be an issue with cabling, jumpers, software ( DLA etc )
Sata or IDE ?? if IDE try removing the other drive , change the jumper & see if that fixes it

1229585 2011-09-08 03:53:00 Windows XP . Have Record Now and Nero 6 . What is daemon tools? Have checked cabling . DVD writer runs off same drive . I have never had a problem before . IanVW (16535)
1229586 2011-09-08 04:39:00 Download and run the fixit here (support.microsoft.com)


If theyre both IDE make sure theyre jumpered properly

1229587 2011-09-08 04:47:00 I have never had a problem before .

Unfortunately thats the nature of hardware faults. They work perfectly untill they stop :badpc: :badpc: :punk:lol:
Fairly common for CD/DVD drives to fail (die), especially older ones. Ive replaced many over the years

Next question : do you really need 2 CD/DVD drives?? Just remove the faulty one .

This is a hard drive (????) - from what I saw on the google

1229589 2011-09-08 06:18:00 I only have one DVD-CD drive IanVW (16535)
1229590 2011-09-08 07:43:00 Yes you are right SVO411n is a harddrive . I think I got my facts wrong . It is a HP DVD Writer 300n , will play DVD's but will not read data and audio cd's . The FIXIT told me I had a problem but I am unable to fix . I am not a computer tech . IanVW (16535)
1229591 2011-09-08 08:30:00 Did the fixit fix it lol. Thats why its called a fixit Speedy Gonzales (78)
