Optical Drive unable to read some discs
I've been searching for a solution for this problem for a while now but all fixes does not work for me. I have a lenovo USB optical drive (cd/dvd) and it cant read my burnt disc. Im currently running windows 7 but when i tried to insert the disc in a windows xp computer using the same optical drive..it can read my cd. same problem i encountered when i tried to insert it in a computer running vista, it can't read my disc as well and it's a newly installed one. so i've ruled out that the problem is neither the optical drive because i've used it installing vista, or my cd because it's working fine in xp. i've also tried these solutions:
- deleting upper/lower filter in registry and unistalling the driver in device manager
- download updated driver
- i even tried downloading and running the fix suggeested in microsoft, doesnt work as well
- also tried disabling uac (someone suggested that)
- change the drive letter path of the optical drive
- and everything else that all the forums suggested, it just seems to many to mention
this problem is a known windows 7/ vista issue and i think it does not concern what hardware i used because i've tried it as well in other units and i still encounter the same problem but not in xp so i won't be giving the specs of my hardware anymore. regardless also if it's ide or sata, my optical drive is usb by the way. and here's the thing..it can read other discs when i'm in the windows 7, just this particular disc, the one that i burned. and as i've said..i can read that disc when i'm in an xp environment using the same optical drive. I'm totally bump! so basically the drive is detected in device manager and my computer. it just wont read this one cd! it can't be access in the command prompt as well.
ANYONE? appreciate the help..thanks!
