ElAguila Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I just finished helping my friend get beta 7000 installed on his system. He has a C2D 6600 on a gigabyte p43 mobo with an nec dvd-rw installed. The bios sees the burner and windows even sees it and says it is operating normally. The problem is that no matter what disc he puts in windows can't read it. He can put in any data or movie disc and then double click the dvd rw icon in my computer and it says please insert disc. Any ideas how to fix this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Get yourself a cleaning disk or better still a new drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesurfer Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 does it work on the same machine with a different os? what was installed prior to windows 7?which drive did you use to install windows 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElAguila Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 You were right I put in a different drive and it worked great. It is was just one of those things that happened at the oddest time. The dvd drive that was in there was working with the other windows. Something happened to it in the last day and caused it to stop working correctly and that coincided with the beta install. It was a hardware issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
