Problem Procedure
You cannot access a
CD/DVD in the drive.
Make sure the drive's drawer is securely.
Press gently until it clicks into place.
Open the drawer and make sure the CD/DVD is
properly seated. It should lie flat with the label
facing up.
A foreign object in the drawer could block laser
light from reading the CD/DVD. Make sure there
is no obstruction. Remove any foreign object.
Check whether the CD/DVD is dirty. If it is, wipe it
with a clean cloth dipped in water or a neutral
cleaner. Refer to Media care section in Chapter 4
for details on cleaning.
Some CD/DVDs run
correctly, but others do
not.
The software or hardware configuration may be
causing a problem. Make sure the hardware
configuration matches your software's needs.
