    Cdrom/dvd drives wont read = bad mobo?


    So I bought a ssd for my os yesterday.. I put in the install disk.. could not read disk error. I ended up making a bootable USB stick n put the disk on there using a different computer. I have checked the IDE connectionsat the drive and motherboard, no debris in the drives searched for a few hours about this with no results. Could it be possible my motherboards IDE port went out? Device manager picks up that they are on my computer. I just find it odd that 2 drives would fail at the exact same time. any advice is appreciated.

    It could be your Motherboard.

    It could also be driver related, or Bios version.

Can read CDROM, but not CD-R
in Hardware & Devices

I have W7 32bit with a DVD-RW drive that used to read/burn CD-R's fine, but now it won't do either. It will burn DVD's and read DVD's/CDROM's. Do you have any suggestions? Thx!
