Blue ray drive behaving strangely

Yeah I disabled system restore to save space on the SSD. I have tried the fix through that link and it also does nothing. Thanks for your efforts though!

Still looking for a fix to this. Any suggestions are welcome!

OK. I am back after a good night's sleep.

Now for the easy fix for your problem.

Re-install Windows 7 :) - shouldn't be difficult since it is only one month old.

Atleast initially till your system settles, do not activate - you have one month's time- and keep your System Restore on.

As you keep installing the programs keep a close watch and try to find out which one is mucking up your system.

I believe that it has something to do with permissions, may be it could be resolved, but honestly it is beyond my comprehension.

( I keep imaging frequently with any new install as I groom it and at any stage if there is a problem, I just revert back to a previous state and avoid the problem program)

If you do not want to reinstall, I refer you to this Access to CD/DVD Drive is Denied through Windows 7 Explorer (Permission Problem) - Super User which I think is most relevant to your problem.

Just my thoughts on your problem.

Alright thanks a ton for the help. I will try to fix it through that other thread as I'd rather not start over fresh.
