Default Cd doesnt get detected....


I recently bought a combo drive but right from day one it was giving me some troubles. Sometimes it simply refused to detect the cd/dvd inside or at other times it used to detect the presence of a disk inside but didn't used to read from it. After opening the drive and rotating the disk a little everything used to work fine. I thought there was a problem with my drive so I had it replaced but later on I discovered that any drive that I attach to my PC gives me the same problem. Any help ????

This is a driver related issue. Is operating system detecting your CD Drive? Can you see CD/DVD icon im my computer? If yes..
Try these steps:
1. Perform a system restore to the best working time.
2. Make sure you are inserting a good disc
3. Update the drivers to the latest version.

Do revert back with feedback.

Tried changing IDE as well. Didnt solve the problem.

yaar, the jumper settings are correct. the disk inside the drive doesnt get detected not the drive itself and that too sometimes.

Just try 1 thing.Update the firmware of ur combo drive.Chances r dat it'll solve ur prob.Had a similar prob wit my SONY DRU-720A.crossflashed it to a Liteon SOHW 1693S and had no probs after dat.It wud be better if u mention ur drives Make and model no here cuz if u flash the firmware in a wrong way ur combo will be dead...
