CD Drive doesn't seem to be reading any discs.
I.E. Put a cd in the drive (music or software all orriginal) and i get the green light on the CDRW drive but nothing happens, don't even get the usual whirring sound.
In device manager it says, drive working, no updated drivers avilable I've also tried rolling back drivers and uninstalling drivers but no luck.
Although if i right click on my cdrw drive short-cut and go to properties/general it comes up with "The name 'D:\' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are corect."
Any help will be much appreciated
 
Try using a CD lens cleaner.

If that doesn't fic the problem, if you can, borrow a friend's CD ROM and replace your. If his works then it's time to buy a new CD.

They do break down and only cost a very small amount nowadays. Heck a DVD Reader / Writer costs less than US $80.00 today.

What a waste of money. Better to just send that money to me. You
wouldn't miss it if you were planning on throwing away the cash
anyway, and I would feel better. Your CDROM would work just as bad
either way.
