Try this if your CD is not working.

Posted on 21 Mar 2015 by infotechcomputing

Last week, I popped in a cd on the book of Daniel by Chuck Missler. For whatever, reason the CD-ROM wasn’t working. I figured i would have to pick up another CD Rom, so I went around looking for ones on Amazon.com. I was told that they were pretty inexpensive. Boy, sure glad waited. I decided not to buy. God must have had a reason for me to wait. It turns out that Microsoft.com had something that worked perfectly. A Fix. I will provide a link this is for Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 7 and windows 8.1.

click the “Run now” button

after downloading the file, click run

After accepting to the agreement, the program will run a diagnostic

This next step is either have Microsoft do this for you or for you to pick, if your like me you probably just want to get it over with in that case click Recommend.

Next you can either select your device if it’s listed, otherwise select not listed.

Then you will be asked if your trying to read or write to that particular drive

Once it finishes your CD ROM should be working normally.

Thank you Jesus

Today, we are going to be talking about the disc drive or Optical Drive. It is used to retrieve and store data to be transferred to a Compact Disc. When your looking for a disc drive to replace the one that has gone bad, you want to make sure that the specifications is compatible to play Digital Versatile Disc” DVDs, or Compact disk’s.

If you want to use it as a burner, such as transferring your favorite music to a Compact Disc. You will want to see somewhere on the device that it is a Compact Disc rewritable. or DVD rewritable. Now, if you only see Compact Disc, than it will play Compact disc’s but, you won’t be able to burn or transfer your music to a blank Compact Disc. This goes also for DVD players, if it isn’t marked DVD, it won’t play DVD’s. Happy Computing and God Bless

Sometimes DVDs and compact discs don’t want to work. This is due to a film that has somehow gotten on the surface. To quickly get rid of this take some liquid dish-washing soap, pour it on the surface run it under water. Moving the soap around the disc in a circle. Once you have the disc covered rinse it off.

You want to take a clean towel, than wiping it from the center and out to the edge. Do this around the whole disc. You don’t want to dry it in a circular motion due to the thin aluminum film will tear and your Cd’s and movies will be ruined.
