Cd Rom driver

[Guest]

My Cd Rom driver sudenly decided not to work! It starts to read any Cd's I
put in, but never loads the CD's. Can anyone help?

Hi,

There may be dust on the lens, a CD lens cleaner disk may help. These are
commonly available at most stores that sell CD media.

I wish that would work, but I tried that already. Thanks.

ALSO, this it says "disk is not formatted" for all kinds of CD's I have used
before, example: CD games, install disks, etc.

Then, based on your other posts, there is a chance the drive has failed and
is in need of a replacement.

I suspect that the drive may have failed.

At today's prices, replacing the drive is certainly cheaper than
repairing it and probably even cheaper than getting a repair tech to
test the drive.

Good luck
