BD Drive reads BD,DVD but not CD??
G'Day All,
I have just compteted building a new system and have discovered my BD drive (Samsung SH-B083L 8x BD-ROM) reads Blu-Ray disks fine and DVD's fine but will not recognize CD's. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions that I might try??
I have read through the forums and this is what I have tried so far:
From the forums I have read it sounds like a driver problem of some sort so I thought I would ask for help here.
- Used the regedit to get rid of lowerfilters and there were no upperfilters to remove.
- Used the Fixit from Windows support with no luck.
- The BD drive recognises boot disk from both Windows XP disk and Windows 2000 Professional. I am assuming one of these would be a CD and according to other forum posts this helps determine if the CD laser is malfunctioning.
- Unistalled the drive and reinstalled the drive several times with no luck.
- Installed another CD/DVD drive on the same system and it recognizes the same CDs that the BD drive would not.
- Swapped cables and power cables with other drive.
Cheers,
Rut
