Just bought a new dell studio 1535 yesterday. Put a dvd in the reader and everything was fine till I put a cd in the drive it started working fine and suddently stopped reading cd and ejected it at once and will do the same thing with every cd I put in there now. Can anyone tell me what should I do please?

I bought the same PC and got the same problem, it's not even 2 month old and dvd/cd rom drive doesn't read any more and just stopped working. Had Dell online support check it out with no success all they said was that the optical drive was working fine. Useless. It's under warranty and I'm getting a new one I know the drive is bad.

Hi Friends,
The solution is
Download Nero Drive Speed
and set the drive speed to silent or minimum speed,
because new DVD drives run the cd at their MAX speed (52x) but if the cd was written in low speed then it mismatch and you see all the time drive was just making noice but did not open the contain of the CD.

Im having the same problem that Nero cannot find the drive even though it is visible in the device manager with updated drivers etc. I tried deleting and reinstalling it, but still no luck.

Well if your cd/dvd rom still doesn't work, you must buy a new one.
The lens maybe damage due to over useage or too much burning.
