I'm unable to figure out what's wrong with my system. My computer will read this particular DVD sometimes and mostly it won't.

When trying to explore the DVD, I get error "Windows can't access this disc" ( note : It doesn't says that the "disc is empty", the normal error which I generally get when I try to read a scratched DVD ).

Ok now the mysterious part, I have noticed that everytime DVD spins for a longer time ( like for 1 -2 minutes), window will read it without any problem.

Extra information :

  • The DVD I'm talking about doesn't have any scratches.

  • I tried cleaning the DVD Drive with a lens cleaning CD.

  • DVD was burned in multisessions.

  • My system have window 8 installed.

Question I wanted to ask :

  1. What makes DVD spins for a longer period of time sometimes ?
  2. If possible how can I make window spin the DVD for longer time ?
  3. Any solution to my problem ?
