CD/DVD Drive not detecting locally burned CD/DVDs, but works fine with Genuine discs.
- by Rahul
I'm using Dell Inspiron 1420 - 32 Bit - Windows Vista, since 2.5 years. I'm facing a strange problem with my CD/DVD-drive. I cannot run/play a CD/DVD which I get burned from my friends. But when I insert Genuine CD, I'm able to play/run it. And when I try to install my Vista package which I got with my notebook, the CD/DVD gets loaded. If I insert a CD/DVD which I get from my friend, CD doesn't get loaded and the system gets hanged. But all these CDs/DVDs work on other systems. I've tested it on many of my friends PCs.
So, now I'm able to run only genuine CDs & a few genuine DVDs.
My Experience/Experiments:
I tried to install Windows Vista using Genuine DVD - It worked
I tried to install Ubuntu which I got from shipped from Canonical Ltd. - It worked
I tried to install OpenSUSE .iso file burned to a DVD in my friend's PC - It didn't work for me (But working perfectly fine in my friends PCs(Tested in 4 other PCs)
Tried to play a DVD containing movies, burned in my friend's PC - It didn't work for me (But working perfectly fine in my friends PCs
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
