I have a problem with a dvd drive in a laptop not reading correct. At first it would not allow me to write at all and then I went in and enabled cd-write funtion and it stated that the dvd-ram will be disabled if I do so. Enabled it. Through windows it allowed me to right click a file and send to cd and then burn the cd. after it said it was done you can go to the drive and view disc and it shows no files. You put the same disc in another computer and it reads what was written. If you go into safe mode it will read the disc though. Is there some kind of setting somewhere that would of jacked it up? Any help would be appritiated. If you need firther information to help me let me know.
My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager. Expand 'DVD/CD-ROM' > Click the device, and then click 'Uninstall' on the Action menu. Click 'OK 'to confirm. Click 'Scan for hardware changes'. This causes Windows to recognize new devices. Quit Device Manager and Control Panel. If that doesn't work, click on the IDE controllers and uninstall the one that is connected to the drive (probably the secondary controller), then reboot and let the system re-install it.
