CD/DVD Drive not working

[ankitSurfzen]

Hello Sir,
i am facing problems with my cd/dvd drive. It is unable to read any cd/dvd and whenever i insert any cd/dvd in the system, it pops up the new CD wizard asking for options whether i want to use it as a CD or as a flash drive. Please help.
Thank You.

You can also try going into device manager and disable the optical drive, then delete the driver reboot your pc and see if that helps

if suppose i do so and i do not have the driver setup separately, then will the driver be installed by itself (in win 7) ?

Usually Windows will detect your device and install the driver you can always take a note of your dvd drive model

i tried the above two methods but they could not solve my problem!

Does the Device Manager say the device is working proper?

yeah

I have had this problem before a very long time ago cannot remember how it was solved , Have you tried rebooting your system with media in the drive?
