DELL Inspiron Cannot Read DVD's yet reads CD's
Posted by Nav on December 3rd, 2003


Hi

I have recently been handed down a DELL INSPIRON 7000 laptop.

pii 300
internal DVD/CD rom
Floppy
128 MEG RAM
With Win98SE

Im having a frustrating problem where it just wont read any DVD's i
put into the ROM. It recognises that the device is a DVD player in the
DEVICE manager and reads CD/CDRW's fine. But when i shove a DVD rom in
it then it trys to access, but fails to find anything.'DRIVE NOT
READY' to be more precise.


Please help

NaV
