Hi everyone. I'm using a new Toshiba laptop with Windows 7, and I have a problem with the CD/DVD drive that I can't seem to find an answer to anywhere. Whenever I put a CD in the drive, W7 seems to think it's a VCD and begins trying to play it with Windows Media Player. This happens with every...

Well the problem's fairly simple, my optical drive won't read DVDs on W7. CDs work fine (I tried Diablo 2 & Warcraft 3) but DVDs won't work. I tried one I burned myself, several games and a few dual-layer ones. Windows just doesn't see a disc in the drive and when I want to open the disc from my...

Ok, i have finally got Windows 7 to install. I love it! Anyway, it would not install if i were to put it in my older IDE DVD drive. I installed it via my other SATA DVD drive which went as it should've. After installing Windows 7, i hooked my IDE drive back up and Windows will detect it but...
