Yeah it does look like that, and i think it would be compatible anyway as i asked the manufacturer before installing windows 7 in case it would cause problems. Thanks for all your help anyway.

Yeah it does show up in device manager

I edited my post before I saw this. See this Microsoft link. It may help.

Your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media

Thanks but i tried this earlier, just came up saying there wasn't any problems

Did you try all three MS fix-it's in post 2?

Try this link enter the number then click the link below then save, once it's saved then run it.

That link that I provided a minute ago does download a file, download it save it to your desktop then run the .exe file, and see if that works

Forgot to include the link sorry:

Download LG GT20N Firmware v.CW03 | Catalog - X-DRIVERS.COM: eXtremly full software portal

That link still comes up with the bit saying it couldn't find the target drive.

BomberAF · 24 Jul 2010

Are you choosing the bottom download link? Cause when I do it, it offers me a choise to either run or save.

EmmaLouise · 24 Jul 2010

yeah, i've tried both ways and they both end up the same

This might sound daft but it is possible that you have some dirt on the lens, maybe if you have a cd/dvd cleaner that you could run and see if that helps.
