i just reinstalled windows 7 ultimate x86 (as you man know from my other post) and now the DVD drive wont open
the windows 7 dvd is still in the drive
how can i get it working again and get my dvd back???
To manually open your dvd drive hook a piece of thin wire in the pinhole at the front of the disc tray and pull it open.
Have a look in device manager under DVD/CD-ROM drives to check if your drive is missing a driver.
I used a knife to open it :)
and now it is working good
I hope it was a small knife!!
As Pooch said, not a good way to open your disc tray, but pleased to hear you've got it working.
Thanks for letting us know.
Does the drive open and close on it's own now?
it was just a butter knife
and it does but haven't tried with a DVD in it yet
Sounds like you should be OK then.
Chances are your Windows DVD was probably dirty or had a scratch mark on it. If you do clean it, make sure it's a clean lint-free cloth, and wipe from the centre of the disc to its perimeter.
yeah just tried it again with the same DVD and its working good now :)
Pleased to hear it - we can consider your problem is now solved.
