• My hard drive will not read discs?

  Hello

  I'm a moderately experienced computer nerd, and today I met this problem I can't solve everything. Late in the afternoon, I noticed that my (DVD - RW) disk drive wouldn't read my drive, so I went to do some testing, (assuming that the problem was the disc) and I found that it would not read any disk I put in it. CD or DVD would work. If at this stage I think it's a problem with the drive itself, so first, I uninstalled the driver for my DVD player and restarted my computer, but that did not work, so I plugged in an external CD player I got earlier. (who has been confirmed to work in the past) And that itself doesn't has the same work. If at this stage I think it's some kind of virus or malware or something of the sort that could prevent any kind of disc. So I did two scans of all of the computer (1 scan Spybot) and 1 AVG scan AVG came up with nothing, and Spybot came with the usual threats of low priority. So I had difficulty all 'threats' Spybot finds it, but it is still impossible to get either of my drives to work. At this point, I'm at my wits end. I'm running out of ideas, and I'm exhausted. So, any help would be appreciated. Thank you! (by the way, I use Windows 7 Ultimate)

  I could finally understand! This idea has just popped in my head that maybe the laser needs to be cleaned. So I veerrry clean gently with one of these sweet rags that come with the latest TV, and I noticed that you can move. So I took a paper clip (just to be more specific about what I might touch) and I moved the whole part of laser to the outside edge of the disc. And then it worked perfectly fine. Thank you all for your help.

• DVD drive will not eject a disc: Lenovo 3000 desktop

  The DVD - RW that I use as a backup disk became full, so I erased it. Unfortunately now I am unable to eject the disc. Desktop Lenovo do not have a small hole where you can insert a paperclip to open manually draw lots. Any ideas?

  Yes, I solved the problem. To eject a disc (or open the status bar), the only way is to turn off and restart the computer. Fortunately this problem occurs only rarely.

• External hard drive will not eject

  As I encrypted my external hard drive, it does not stop running after I press eject. He disappears from the sidebar in the Finder, but it does not stop running. I deleted and connected it several times and the same thing happens every time. It can be dangerous to drive or is it OK to remove it even if it is still ongoing? Is there anyway to solve this problem so that he stops running when the ejection? Or is there an another way to delete if eject does not work? I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.5.

  One that you eject the disc and it disappears from the Finder, it's OK to disconnect/manually turn off the external drive.
