| 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 . |

| 1229588 | 2011-09-08 04:50:00 | SAMSUNG SVO411N This is a hard drive (????) - from what I saw on the google how many DVD/CD drives are there ?? 1 or 2 ?? |

| 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) | ||
