Hi, try to buy optic lense cleaner of dvd.
Try also nero if also available.

Hi,
Let me figure out that problem, that usually happen when there is miss align of your dvd drive, that cannot read the optic in your dvd when you insert any disc. Have it check with repair man or technician.

Greetings
It is not the cd that has a problem, its your hardisk if you have other hardisk try to exchange it and re-install your computer. or format your computer with other comupter.
Thanks

I have a similar issue to you, except that my dvd drive will only recognize a disc if I have booted up into windows with it in the tray...once in windows it will still think it has the first disc in no matter what disc i insert. If i boot up with no disc then it will never read it unless I follow the steps below.

A solution I found by pure frustration and trying all sorts of things is to eject the DVD tray and leave it opened, then right click on the dvd drive in 'my computer' and select the 'hardware' tab...then select the drive and click 'properties'.
A new window should open. Select 'volumes' and click 'populate'. Now close the window and insert the disc you wish to read, close the tray and repeat this process. Windows should now recognize the disc you inserted

Alot of trouble I know, but it works for me. Hope this helps.

what is your roblem then?

send it to hell!!   ;)

Odd considering video uses more bandwidth and cache than photos....how much ram is in your computer, and where are th ephotos youre attempting to copy?
