CD/DVD Drive Ejects Discs
I have a new Toshiba laptop (L505D, 64-bit Windows 7). The CD/DVD drive will not read a CD software disc that I need to use to install a program. Roxio Burn pops up when I load a disc, and when I exit that and go to Windows Explorer to view the files on the disc and run the .exe program, I get this message when I click on the "d:" (CD/DVD) drive: "Insert a Disc" and below that "Please insert a disc into drive D:".
This drive worked yesterday but not today. The same thing happened five days ago when I bought the laptop. To fix it, I ran a MS File Checker program (got it from MS support site). That program fixed the problem but a few hours later stuff was so bizarre on my laptop that I had to reimage it. Those issues may have been caused by the Brother printer drivers I installed once I got the d: drive working (had to go to Brother site to get 64-bit drivers), but I'm not sure and I'm gunshy about running the File Checker program. Plus, I'm not confident that will provide a permanent solution. It's almost as if once the DVD drive hits a point where it only wants blank discs to burn and will not function as a drive to run programs from.
Please, any help is appreciated. This is extremely frustrating!
Thanks,
Chris
