Re: Dvd drives won't read disc

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have 2 drive and they both react the same, pretty high odds.
Why would it read the disc on reboot but not after boot?

thanks

The UpperFilters and LowerFilters removal did work for me to. As

But the drive only reads the CD or DVD when it is in the drive
when I reboot.
Once I remove the disc and install another it won't read it.

Need help please

Considered defective hardware?
