Hi guys!
Recently, I've inserted an old VCD into my DVD-RAM drive of my laptop. While
it was playing, the video stopped and Windows Media Player notified me that
the disc is spoilt etc. And indeed the disc was badly scratched on its back,
but I don't usually care about such things.
Not long later I inserted another VCD into my drive but nothing happened. As
in, the drive shows a blank folder and I couldn't play anything out of it.
The disc was not scratched and it's quite new, it's also not a burnt disc.
I tried inserting other kinds of discs, including burnt discs, CD-ROMs, VCDs
etc, but the same result happened too.
I went to the Net and searched for solutions but all they told me are just
solutions such as to clean the drive. That is what I've done. I also went to
Control Panel > Administratve Tools > Computer Management > Event Viewer >
System, on the right pane I found 5 consecutive errors which source is
"cdrom". For that I know these are relevant to my problem so I doubled click
one of them for more details.
Event ID: 7
Description: The device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block.
I believe the drive is still intact and detectable by the system because it
appears functioning properly in Device Manager and that the drive ejects when
I click "Eject this disk" under System Tasks on the left pane when I have
selected "DVD-RAM Drive (D"
So, what's the problem? Anyone has a solution for it?
For your information:
1. I'm using Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition N, Version 2002, Service Pack
2.
2. The model of my laptop is Acer Aspire 5610ANWLMi.
3. The model of my DVD-RAM drive is PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K17RS.
Thanks a lot for your help anyway.
I'd appreciate if you could add me in Windows Live Messenger,
(e-mail address removed) to talk about the solution, since I need it quite
urgently. Nevertheless, I am fine with solutions posted here. =D
Thanks =)
