Error: "The drive is not ready for use; its door may be open."
- by TimTim
On Windows Vista SP2 - I'm attempting to upgrade to Windows 7.
After I put in the Windows 7 DVD in the drive, I receive the Windows 7 upgrade splash screen (so the drive is working at this moment). But then when I click "Upgrade to Windows 7", I receive a error message stating:
Error:
The drive is not ready for use; its door may be open
Any ideas what's causing this error?
Since receiving the error, I have already replaced the DVD drive with a brand new one and still receive the same error.
I've also checked Device Manager and no hardware is reporting problems (no cautions or failures).
