Hello,

If it is reading the CDs, then it is not at all a hardware trouble. Follow the following instructions then.

Run "regedit" and get to the string key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and delete "upper filters" and "lower filters in the right side window.

Then right click on My Computer and click on Properties.

Reach the hardware tab, click device manager and expand the dvd/cdrom drives.

Then simply right click the dvd rom and click uninstall.

Now restart your computer.

Hope this solves the issue.
