If a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM disc drive in your computer is not reading discs correctly, the following tips and information may help you fix the problem.

Bad or dirty CD

Make sure you have tested more than one CD in the disc drive, as it may be one CD that is bad or dirty. If all but one or two discs fail, the disc drive is bad or dirty. For instructions on cleaning your CDs and disc drive, see the computer cleaning page.

If, after cleaning the drive and CDs, you still get errors, it's likely the disc drive is bad.

Check Device Manager

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click or double-click the System icon.
3. In Windows XP and earlier, click the Hardware tab and then the Device Manager button.
   In Windows Vista and later, click the Device Manager link on the left side of the System window.

Within Device Manager, verify the CD-ROM has no exclamation marks or red X's. If listed with a yellow exclamation mark or red X, remove the CD-ROM by highlighting the drive and pressing the delete key. Reboot the computer to reinstall the CD-ROM drive.

If the CD-ROM drive is not in the Device Manager, the drive's cables may not be connected properly. It's also possible that the drive is bad and needs to be replaced.

For additional information on Device Manager, see our Device Manager page.
