Drive reads DVD's not CD's

[hansontrek]

Not sure how long this has been this way but recently noticed that DVD games
and movies will play fine on the drive, but whenever a music or game CD is
placed in hte tray it acts as if nothing is there and says to "insert CD"
when you try to open or explore the drive [TSST corp DVD+CD-RW TE-L632D ATA]

Any thoughts?

Combo drives like yours have two lasers, one for CDs and one for DVDs. You
can try a drive cleaner but in all probability the laser for the CD has
died and you just need to replace the drive.

Did anybody ever teach you about capitalization, punctuation and paragraph?
People utilize
these concepts for a good reason.
