I have a Dell installed DVD-RW Drive( Phillips 8631) which won't read
data cds. I ran diagnostic tests on the drive and they passed. The
drive will play audio cds, and some data CDS, but not many. For
example, the Microsoft CDs don't read. Fortunately, I have a DVD drive
also, which will read all the CDS.

Suggestions?
Thanks.

Try cleaning the lens. If that doesn't work than the laser is bad and it's
time to buy another drive.
