Hi,
I have recently bought a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Si 1520 and it already had
Vista installed on it and was set up to go and all. I have been using the cd
driver regularlly and have not had an ounce of trouble with it. Today it
stopped working..... I have used a lens cleaned, the device manager says its
fine and working perfectly but when i put in a cd it doesnt seem to load.
When i go to my computer to load it it ejects the cd saying "insert cd". Can
spmebody please help me.
Regards
David

Bowe,

This problem can have several causes, including the drive needing a firmware
update. Some drives don't recognize the media that's in the drive, but the
firmware takes care of that. Another possibility is that the drive is going
bad, though not likely in your case since the drive is fairly new, but it's
till a possibility. The laser in the drive could be faulty. In addition,
another burner application, like Nero, could be causing the problem. These
situations are hard to diagnose because of these multiple possibilities.

You likely will simply have to go through various troubleshooting steps to
see whether you can identify the issue. Try another burner application, for
example. Try using a different brand or type of media, in case your burner
doesn't recognize the one you're using. This troubleshooting requires a lot
of poking around. In that regard, peruse the posting on this forum. You
might try some of the suggestions you find to see whether those fix your
problem. That's about all I have on this subject.

Bowe,

One other step I neglected to mention: In Device Manager, under the
Properties for the drive, select to Uninstall it, and then reboot. The idea
is to force Windows to detect and reinstall the drive when it reboots.
Sometimes that step fixes problems that one didn't even know was there. Post
back on results.

Bowe,

Follow the instructions on the following Microsoft article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929461

Sometimes this solution works, but who knows until you try it. I was
wondering whether you have Nero installed. I'll post some links to burners
that work will with Vista. Post back on
the results.

Bowe,

In case the burner program that you are using is causing a problem for you,
here are links to three burners that people who have used them say work well
with Vista:

http://www.imgburn.com/

http://www.deepburner.com/

http://www.ashampoo.com/frontend/hom...ssion_langid=2

I obtained those references from another forum. I've not used any of them.
Each one has a free version and a more fully featured pay version. Some
versions of Nero and/or Roxio, and even the iPod associated burner, have been
known to disable CD/DVD-ROM drives. You can uninstall Nero first. Just for
your information and consideration.

Bowe,

Are you looking in registry? If not, take another read of the article.

Just after following the instructions (properly this time). I have gotten rid
of the upper filters but there are no lower filters

Bowe,

Did removing the filter fix the problem? That's all that matters. You
might also have to uninstall Nero. You're in the best position to tell. I'm
toooo far away.
