cd/dvd drive reads discs as empty?

[dodgy368]

Got a new laptop(presario f500) and can't get the disc drive to recognise any type of content on discs, any ideas?:huh:

RMA it or return it to the store.
I can't think of any good reason your brand new drive in your brand new computer would not read disc other than manufacturing defect.

Got it to work!
Well, James Bond did. :w00t:

Tried loads of different discs and got Die Another Day to work, now it plays any retail dvd or cd but still won't recognise anything on a burned disc, have to start in safe mode to use them. :angry:


Is this a DRM problem? Cos one of the files I tried running on cd was Vista drivers for a printer, which was a legal download, or is it something in the security settings(which I can't find)?
