I put a dvd in my drive but my drive is says "no cd in the drive." What's wrong?

It was working fine before, except that it took a lot of time to load on my realplayer. I changed the default settings and transferred my files and everything. I also put my computer ask me whenever I put in a disk, and I don't see that either. It does not feel like the disc spins in the player. Help, please!

Hi lilypad399,

This happens with all DVDs or just this one?

I suggest you try the following steps:

Step 1: Run the Fixit available in the link below

Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

Step 2: Change the DVD drive drive letter

 

1. open computer management by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-click computer management.

2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. in the Navigation pane, click Disk Management.

4. click on the DVD drive you want to change and then click on change drive letter and paths.

5. to change a drive letter, click on edit, click on assign the following drive letter, click the letter you want to use and then click OK.

Change, add, or remove a drive letter
